Let’s Go, Alberta! 20 schools across the province, from Calgary to Morinville, are already earning points toward EcoSchools certification as they grow gardens, clean up their communities, learn outside, or cook together. Join the growing EcoSchools in Alberta network, share and learn from other teachers, and have your environmental efforts recognized! 

The best way to explore EcoSchools' 45+ actions (each with its own action guide) is to register on the online platform (there is no cost to do this, and no obligation). EcoSchools is also available en français - and is FREE for all publicly funded schools! Not sure where to start or want to know more? Join one of our half-hour Launch Your EcoSchools Journey sessions, available throughout November.

Looking to engage your students in learning opportunities, conversations, and action on the environment, energy, and climate change? Join us virtually on Nov. 5-7 for the Alberta Youth Leaders for Environmental Education's (AYLEE) 2021 Summit! This is an opportunity for youth across the province to learn about the environment, energy, and climate change; connect with like-minded folks; and start taking action in their school, community, and province. Sign up for free as an individual youth, youth-led group, or a teacher registering a club, school group, or classroom.

Join us for a morning of learning and sharing about reconciliation, and the steps we can all take towards incorporating Indigenous perspectives into our programming. This webinar will include resources, guest speaker(s), and a space where we can all meet, grow and learn together on our journey toward reconciliation.

How can teachers best address the climate crisis? Why is this important, what do we need to know? Who's leading the way here in Canada, and what can we learn from looking abroad? Two new teachers from OISE's Master of Teaching program have conversations with key players and minds to answer these questions. Strap in for some insightful, interesting, and hopefully inspiring discussions. In particular, you won't want to miss ACEE's very own Marie Tremblay and EcoSchools Canada's Lindsay Bunce discuss how students from across Canada are joining the sustainability movement through EcoSchools (Ep. 3).

Green Teacher has two remaining sessions in this webinar series, both at 5:30 pm MT.
