Episode 55: EAC in the Social Studies Classroom

We see you, social studies educators! Earth Force program staff Krysten, SJ, and Taylor discuss how Environmental Action Civics (EAC) bridges science and social studies. They highlight how science and social studies come with different lenses, both offering an ideal learning space for young people to understand and address local environmental issues.

Listen in for district examples in Denver and DC that demonstrate how EAC can be integrated into existing curricula by supporting civic action projects, connecting to frameworks like C3, and using real-world issues (such as protest movements and urban heat islands) as entry points for student inquiry and action.
