Climate Schools Programme - TES taster

This Climate Schools Programme taster, created especially for TES, features a small sample of the lessons and activities available through the programme. This free programme is for teachers working in state-funded secondary schools, teaching 11 to 14 year olds in science, geography and English.

The included sample English lesson looks at debate prep using the use of language of when talking about climate change. In the full programme solution versus problem language is covered alongside complexity, how persuasive language is used as well as ways of challenging inaccuracy. Students will learn to use inference and deduction, detect bias, and demonstrate knowledge of how meaning comes from choice of language used as well as much more personal development.

The curriculum-linked lesson plans cover English, science and geography classes and includes everything you need to deliver the lesson, such as presentations, lesson plans, activity plans, case studies, curriculum alignments and worksheets. Through taking part, students will develop skills such as teamwork, problem solving and communication – all vital to future employability. There are also Climate Action theme packs available to support existing extra-curricular clubs or new Climate Action Clubs. Your school can choose to do 1 or 2 lessons in one subject, or use the resources and activities with your students across all subjects.
