The second round of the Climate Action Teacher Champions programme has now concluded, with six more teachers trained and delivering a climate action plan for their school. Mayor of Luton, Councillor Yaqub Hanif, handed teachers their certificates in our final meeting, hosted at Stockwood Park Academy.
“It was a really enjoyable programme,” said Raheela Saleem, a science teacher at Challney High School for Girls. “I love the fact that we got to meet other people from different schools, and networked and shared ideas with each other.” As part of its response to the environmental challenge, the school is installing a greenhouse, investigating solar panels, and involving students in an eco-team.
Schools are invited to join the third round of the CATCh programme, which starts at the end of January. You can find out more about it here.
For teachers considering joining, “why wouldn’t you?” says Andeep Birring from Chiltern Academy. “There’s no better way of finding out how you can be a positive influence.”
