Climate Literacy in Action!
Hillside Public Schools' pilot teachers are implementing the new interdisciplinary curriculum unit developed through the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) Climate Literacy for Community Resilience Grant, funded by the NJDOE Office of Climate Change Education! This exciting work helps students make real-world connections between science, sustainability, and community impact.
As part of this work, teachers are integrating the National Inventors Hall of Fame’s Operation Hydro Drop as a hands-on curricular resource to support our K–3 interdisciplinary climate literacy unit — helping young learners explore water conservation, weather, and the importance of protecting our planet! A huge thank you to our incredible community partners — Monmouth University, Hillside Department of Public Works and the Department of Engineering, Public Works & Facilities Management County of Union, for their collaboration and support in developing this unit and its resources!
