Data literacy has become an in-demand skill for our future workforce to navigate tough decision making as we adapt to the climate crisis. As New Jersey the first state to adopt climate literacy standards, what are our obligations of Cooperative Extension to support learning about climate change? What partnerships are needed to support climate adaptation and resilience? In this workshop, Janice McDonnell will share experiences developing Data to the Rescue, Penguins Need our Help, an out-of-school time program to teach data skills and climate change solutions. She will share lessons learned about how to integrate data literacy skills and climate science solutions discussions in learning environments including tips for including social emotional learning practices.
