With the passing of NJ’s new climate change learning standards CMSCE has developed several Climate Change PDs to support schools in implementing these standards. Here is a list of several PDs that we have run that go with Climate Change. All are open to modifications based on district needs for grade levels, time windows, student groups etc… We would be happy to discuss any of the PDs and provide an agenda or further explanation.
