Group study of special topics in environmental science, policy, and management that are not covered in depth in regular courses in the department.

This course will allow students to teach environmental justice to elementary and middle schoolers and acquire the skills necessary to effectively do so. The Environmental Justice Education (EJE) Program, through the ASUC Office of the President, sends students from UC Berkeley to local elementary and middle schools in marginalized neighborhoods to teach them about the implications of climate change on the justice system. Throughout the course, students will learn how to properly address a classroom of elementary and middle schoolers, workshop their own Environmental Justice-themed lesson plans, review past EJE presentations and give feedback to improve them for future use, and hear from three guest speakers: a local middle-school teacher, a local climate activist, and a UC Berkeley ESPM Department professor. In the final weeks of the course, students will venture to a local school to teach their lesson plan and conduct a final project that reflects on their experience.
