Kottie began teaching about climate change over fifteen years ago, after visiting the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway. It was here she learned of the importance of mitigating climate change to preserve people's land, food, way of life, and worldwide peace. Since then, she has researched the science, talked with climatologists, visited areas already affected by climate change, attended conferences and training sessions, written curriculum, talked with teachers, and piloted activities in her own classroom. Due to the ever-increasing demand for climate education, she now offers professional development to formal and informal educators in the United States and overseas. She also offers an online course for educators through the University of San Diego, Teaching Climate Change in the NGSS Classroom.
