Catalyzing Transformational Change in California Schools

Destinations + Tie-Ins to Advocacy, Communications, Research, and/or Partnerships

Climate Change and Environmental Justice Program (CCEJP): A collaboration between Ten Strands, the San Mateo County Office of Education, the California Department of Education, and community- and student-centered organizations  who have come together to create K–12 open education resources focused on climate change and environmental justice.

ADVOCACY: SUPPORTING TEACHERS WITH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING!

As part of our work on CCEJP, we supported Senator Ben Allen’s budget request for the state to allocate an additional $10 million to provide sufficient professional learning support for teachers, and build upon and leverage the initial investment in curricular resource development. Through this campaign, we built a broad coalition of 250 supporters, positioning us for a successful campaign next year.
