=Professional Development= > In 2006, Al Gore started The Climate Project ([|http://www.theclimateproje][|ct.org]) to mobilize youth to address global warming. This pioneering climate leadership program is developing an online simulation that teaches young people about clean energy in accordance with national education standards. > TCP staff will conduct 45-minute workshops about the science and solutions to global warming. Your class will take part in up to four role-playing exercises between March-June 2009. Feedback from students, teachers and program leaders will help design a multi-media tool for educators to be launched in the fall of 2009. > This initiative is intended for teachers and youth program leaders who work with students in grades 7- 10. > Please refer interested teachers, students and organizations to Raj Shukla, Director of Education Programs with The Climate Project for more information: raj.shukla@theclimateproje  ct.org; 608-338-5227
