This 55-page comprehensive, interdisciplinary curriculum will allow you to turn your classroom into an environmental action lab focused on ocean plastic pollution. Designed to bridge cutting-edge marine science with civic advocacy, it provides students with opportunities to move beyond passive learning and into actual environmental action based on evidence. The curriculum consists of three phases that take students through a complete educational process. In Phase 1, Theoretical Framework gives students all of the background knowledge necessary for them as citizens to become advocates for change through evidence-based advocacy strategies (i.e., the Coriolis Effect; chemical properties of polymers; biodegradability; accumulation and magnification of toxins in food webs; marine ecosystems) designed using science and basic tenets of physics & chemistry that are used in designing marine policies. In Phase 2, Application Phase, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned through 10 worksheets that require analytical thinking skills (i.e., interpreting data sets; calculating numbers; ecological reasoning; evaluating corporations' environmental claims) in the creation of project proposals, respectively, regarding greenwashing, greenhouse gas emission reductions. In Phase 3, Instructional Materials, teacher support is provided (i.e., graphic organizers; rubric; answer keys with rational explanations; pacing guide; differentiation strategies, etc.) for successful implementation of the curriculum across disciplines. Students will have the opportunity to analyze real-world examples of ocean plastic pollution facts, including: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Henderson Island, Midway Atoll; develop a quantitative analysis of the rate of time it takes for PVC plastic to decompose; create maps showing the locations of the locations of plastic and non-plastic debris along ocean currents; analyze data related to the successful clean up of beaches and oceans and use such information in forming international legislation that seeks to eliminate as much plastic pollution as possible through public awareness campaigns such as "I Love My Ocean" public service announcements etc. Students compose policy memos formally addressed to elected representatives. The materials will help students build skills and competencies in the areas of data literacy, systems thinking, scientific writing, persuasive communication and authentic political agency through a pressing global issue — marine plastic pollution. Topics Covered: Environmental Science, Earth Science, Marine Biology, Chemistry (Polymer Science), Economics, Civics/Government, ELA (Persuasive Writing, Research), Mathematics (Data Analysis, Percent Calculations, Unit Conversions).

The material presented such as the Byzantine Generals Problem, Turing Completeness, Tokenomics, and Regulatory Arbitrage are all concepts that align with and can be understood by the cognitive level of high school students; thus this material fits perfectly within offerings of honors/ap economics, principles of computer science or as a course under the financial technology branch. - Secondary Target: for advanced/gifted students in 7-8 grades (middle school). The use of this material in the standard/mainstream classroom curriculum may not be appropriate for 7th grade students; however, it would be beneficial in some cases (i.e. gifted program, after school technology club) where there is evidence of interest and ability toward this subject.

Conflict Resolution & Peer Mediation Prompts

Do you find that there are many complicated (and sometimes unseen) conflicts in your 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classroom? From conflicts on the playground to having miscommunication on group chat, pre-adolescents have a much more difficult time managing their social world than they ever did before. This curriculum on Conflict Resolution and Peer Mediation is a complete, research-supported program that will help you empower your students with the tools necessary for success in looking at conflict in a way that is positive and productive. This is not just another collection of worksheets; this is a complete Social Emotional Learning (SEL) toolkit that has been created for the modern student. Based on developmental psychology, this curriculum will address the two types of settings in which pre-adolescents experience conflict: the physical environment of the playground and the virtual environment of today's digital world (gaming, social media, texting). Using the use of "scripted roleplay scaffolding" methodology, this curriculum will enable a child to bypass the "fight or flight" response and give them the exact words and tools they need to de-escalate an argument, share their feelings in a healthy way, and resolve conflict. Additionally, by providing the student with a "lexical bridge," they will be able to articulate complex emotions (jealousy, exclusion, betrayal) in a manner that will promote empathy and understanding. What's Included in the 48 Page PDF File Section One - Guidelines for Teachers This section provides an in-depth overview of the theory and methodology used in the development of these scripts along with the reasons behind their creation. It covers issues such as social dynamics of pre-teens, the difference between intent versus impact, and the unique challenges of dealing with conflict in the digital world (Online Disinhibition Effect). Section Two - Eleven Worksheets for Students These are the main component of the curriculum and consist of eleven interactive worksheets that incorporate real-life scenarios faced by students on a daily basis. The worksheets cover a broad range of scenarios dealing with: Group Chat Misunderstanding (Roblox, text messaging) Disputes between Playground Rules (Four Square) Digital Exclusion (Multi Player Gaming, Minecraft) "I Was Only Playing" and Cyber Bullying Rumors, Gossip, and Broken Trust The Challenge of Inclusion (Cafeteria Seating) De-Escalation Strategies for Youth Valuing Digital Property and Creations Section Three - This teacher resource package includes all necessary materials needed to complete each portion of the curriculum. Visual Support: Printable, easy-to-read diagrams outlining the Peer Mediation Pathway, conflict escalation, and I-Statement structure. Complete Answer Key: Sample answers for all questions in the curriculum supporting main concepts of de-escalation and restorative language. Full Implementation Guide: Step-by-step directions for introducing your curriculum, implementing role-playing (including "Fishbowl" method), differentiating for all learning levels, and addressing and assisting with common challenges. Provide your students with a lifelong gift: confidence and ability to develop healthy friendships and resolve conflicts calmly and with compassion. This curriculum is for teachers, counselors, social workers and administrators. Keyword SEO: Conflict Resolution; Peer Mediation; Social Emotional Learning; Grammarly; Digital Citizenship; Cyberbullying; Anti-Bullying; Worksheets; 4th Grade; 5th Grade; 6th Grade; Middle School; School Counselor; Restorative Justice; I-Statements; Role Playing Scripts; Classroom Management; Friendship Skills. Why Parents Schools Appreciate It: Provides the Exact Words: Rather than telling children what to do, it gives them exactly how to express themselves in situations of high stress. This "lexical certainty" is a game changer for those children who become overwhelmed by a situation and don’t know what to say. Addresses Today’s Technological Conflicts of the New Millennium: This curriculum goes beyond teaching children outdated scenarios to dealing with real types of digital situations that they face today, such as gaming exclusion, misunderstandings with friends on a group text message, and dealing with the impact of a “seen” message. Therefore, it is extremely relevant and effective. Research-based & Developmentally Appropriate: The method used in this curriculum is based on solid principles of child psychology and understands the concrete scaffolding that pre-adolescents need to utilize when managing complex feelings. It provides a structured safe environment in which to practice empathy. Comprehensive No Preparation Resource: This is a complete 48-page curriculum, not a single worksheet, along with a teacher’s guide, visual aids, student workbook, and an answer key, therefore providing the educator and/or counselor an immediate implementation resource with a high level of confidence. Builds Lifelong Skills: This curriculum is a method of solving conflicts today, it also creates the building blocks for rewiring a child’s approach to conflict as they move into adulthood and creating the neurological pathways to become more mature, empathetic, and resilient in relationships as an adult. Target Audience Classes : After conducting a thorough review of their report, the authors (PDF) specifically identified the following groups as targets based on a potential audience needs analysis: Grades: Fourth grade through sixth grade Ages: Approximately 9 to 12 years The authors also have tailored to this developmental stage, as well as their own peer social groupings, such as on playgrounds, in-game chat rooms (Roblox, Minecraft), and with friends via group messenger/chat program. Thus, they provide great information directed towards students in early/middle school and also those working with them professionally (school counselor/social worker).

Provide your advanced high school students with this 42-page climate policy curriculum that focuses on advanced dialectical analysis rather than simplified activism. This curriculum will encourage active learning for your students by transforming passive learning into a deep intellectual engagement through multi-perspective debate, policy creation, and ethical reasoning. Students will explore: The transition from the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement and the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) Carbon pricing mechanisms (Carbon Tax vs. Cap and Trade), as well as the Social Cost of Carbon The ethics of geoengineering (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection [SAI], moral hazard, risks associated with unilateral use of SAI) Environmental justice, climate debt, and the Cobalt Paradox in developing countries Youth climate lawsuits, climate refugees and international law, methane agricultural policies, financing urban adaptation, and accountability for greenwashing Includes 10 high-level student worksheets with conceptual fill-in-the-blank (using a unique 7-underscore system), real-world case studies and hypothetical case studies, critical debate prompts, and challenging policy creation assignments for students. Teacher answer keys, implementation guides, visual diagrams (Climate Policy Trilemma, Stakeholder Matrix, and Carbon Pricing Mind Map), and differentiation strategies are also included. Ideal for AP Environmental Science, AP Government, AP Economics, IB Global Politics, Honors Humanities, and Model UN/debate programs. Encourages real critical thinking, systems analysis, and nuanced understanding of the trade-offs between enhancing developing countries. The Key Reasons Why Parents and Schools Appreciate It: Facilitates unbiased critical thinking instead of dogmatic, ideologically-based, practical-thinking-by-proxy students making arguments for and against competing choices (e.g., Growth vs. Fossil-Fuel Abolition; Independent Sovereign Nation vs. World Government; Technology as Hope or as a Curse). Extensive preparation for taking Advanced Placement tests; writing college level essays, debating other humans, as well as the development of well-thought-out arguments using established policies, and ethical reasoning based on sound ethical reasoning standards. A balanced view of the world; an honest consideration of the challenges facing developing nations, "Just Transition", climate liabilities, and the risk of neo-colonial influence in creating green supply chains. Teacher support that is broad in scope and purpose; includes teacher-oriented teacher guides, "look-for" answers for the teachers, pacing guides and strategies for differentiating instruction, visual aids to illustrate concepts, and techniques for managing classroom conversations. An exceedingly entertaining way to teach about Climate Change, as well as Science, by creating opportunities for students to compete with each other on an intellectual level, as opposed to being preached at.
