Abstract
Teach for Climate Justice by Tom Roderick offers a vision for PreK–12 education that centers the intersection of climate change and social justice. Through eight key dimensions of climate education, the book integrates science, equity, and social-emotional learning to empower students as climate justice advocates. Grounded in real classroom examples, it provides inclusive, developmentally appropriate strategies for fostering agency, hope, and nonviolent action.
