SUMMARY:Winter Webinar: Connected Learning Ecosystems in Vermont & New Hampshire: Building Regional Networks for Climate & Place-Based Learning
DESCRIPTION:🎉 New Hampshire Environmental Educators (NHEE), Vermont Education & Environment Network (VEEN), and Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative (UVTPC) are teaming up again for the Teach for Tomorrow: Winter Webinar Series, offering educators a diverse range of professional development opportunities, covering topics from environmental science and sustainable education to curriculum connections, all aimed at empowering teachers to engage students and create impactful learning experiences both indoors and outdoors. Participants will earn 1 hour of professional development.\nConnected Learning Ecosystems (CLEs) across Vermont and New Hampshire are bringing together formal and informal educators, scientists, libraries, museums, and community partners to strengthen climate, data, and place-based environmental learning for youth. In this session, leaders from regional CLEs will share how their ecosystems function as collaborative hubs—supporting educator connection, resource sharing, and the co-design of hands-on learning experiences rooted in local landscapes.\nPresenters will highlight CLEs from the Seacoast, Squam Lakes, White Mountains, Burlington, and Upper Valley regions, showcasing a range of models that engage learners from early childhood through high school. Examples will include community science and environmental monitoring, youth-led community action projects, climate literacy programming, and inclusive professional learning spaces that foster collaboration, reflection, and relationship-building.\nParticipants will gain insight into how CLEs support educators and communities in documenting environmental change, engaging youth and families with local ecosystems, and building the skills and resilience needed to address climate challenges. The session will include time for discussion and Q&A, offering opportunities to exchange ideas and explore connections across regions.\nPresenters include:\nDante Frontani.
