| Abstract: | "Rethinking Environmental Education in a Climate Change Era: Weather Learning in Early Childhood" by Tonya Rooney and Mindy Blaise explores the pedagogical potential of children's relations with weather in response to climate change. The authors draw upon feminist, poststructuralist, and posthumanist approaches to broaden understanding and care for all lives and ecologies. The book challenges traditional weather-related activities in early childhood education and advocates for a critical shift towards more open learning to address climate challenges. It offers insights on how educators can use child-weather encounters to reimagine human relationships with nature and create better worlds together. [Extracted from the article] |
