For the past three years, Teachers College has co-hosted the Midwinter Climate Institute with the New York City Public Schools' Office of Energy and Sustainability, a professional development experience that has grown into one of New York City's most significant gatherings for climate change education. Bringing together 500 K–12 educators from across the city's public school system, the Institute reflects Teachers College's deep commitment to equipping teachers from multiple disciplines with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to bring climate change into their classrooms. At its core, the Midwinter Institute is built on a simple but urgent conviction: that educators are among the most powerful levers for building a generation of climate-literate, climate-ready students.
