by Seth Spencer (Climate Generation) When tackling global issues like climate change, it takes a diverse network. Networks allow educators and professionals to connect to a wide range of people across ethnic, language, and socio-economic divides to produce community-based solutions to complex issues. They connect local experts, parents, professionals, and community members to help further learning in and out of the classroom. Educators are able to provide deeper learning and mastery of subjects while also showing students how their education connects to the world.
