The Course of the Erasmus+ project "Towards a new model of Teachers' Professional Competence Development on Climate Change" (acronym: ClimaTePD) aims at promoting subject-specific and cross-disciplinary competences for Climate Education at secondary school level.
The training course aims to show possibilities of integrating climate education topics in the different subjects and to enable teachers to create teaching concepts on the central problems of climate change and climate protection.
The ClimaTePD addresses in-service secondary school teachers and student teachers in developing digital competences and teaching skills on climate change education.
The in-service training is divided into six main learning units. These support teachers in
understand and recognise the basics and complex mechanisms of climate change and how the topic of climate change can be integrated into different subjects (Introduction Unit A.1 and A.2 Introduction).
apply and adapt the teaching scenarios developed in the CLIMATePD project (Interaction Unit B.1 and B.2 Interaction);
develop their own teaching scenarios and reflect on their own teaching activities based on the acquired knowledge (Construction Unit C.1 and C.2).

Learning format
The training takes place online, independent of time and space. There are no fixed times when work has to be done. The majority of all activities are asynchronous. In some cases and to encourage collaboration and interaction, synchronous activities take place.
