There are many ways you can incorporate Climate Superpowers within your teaching, and we love hearing the many creative ideas people have come up with – please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

As a starting point, we suggest the following broad approach which can enable Climate Superpowers to support delivery of all three dimensions of the Australian Curriculum: General Capabilities, Cross-Curriculum Priorities and Learning Areas.

These resources are designed to evolve and grow, and we always welcome input from teachers. Click here to find out more about the range of opportunities for teachers to get involved in shaping these resources, using them, or contributing to research about teacher wellbeing in relation to climate change.

Run an introductory lesson to help students begin to explore their Climate Superpowers.

You might choose to run a single session of as little as 15 minutes, or a longer lesson/multiple lessons.

Teachers, students and researchers at the University of Melbourne have been working together to create resources for you to use including a lesson plan, slide deck, introductory video and worksheets.

OPTIONAL EXTENSION

After being broadly introduced, the Climate Superpowers framework can then be reinforced by revisiting the idea across a wide range of subjects and topics.

This can help students develop their social, human, natural, cultural, built, financial and/or political superpowers.

More information about how this could be done and the potential benefits can be found on the Curriculum alignment page.

These classroom resources are based on a participatory process involving teachers and students at a high school in Melbourne, The Academy of Mary Immaculate. They brainstormed classroom activity ideas to help students explore their Climate Superpowers, and tested some of them out across two lessons with the Year 10 cohort in 2023. Based on the co-designers’ insights from that pilot process, the resources on this page have been created with further input from other teachers and education experts.

This was an extension on the original process of co-designing the Climate Superpowers website with children and young people in 2022, as outlined on the About page.
