What is the Maryland Climate Teach-in?

The Maryland Climate Teach-In is an annual celebration of statewide climate education during April. It encourages and supports climate education activities of all kinds – empowering educators, students, and community members to learn, discuss, and take action to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The Teach-In is organized by the Education, Communication, and Outreach (ECO) Working Group of the Maryland Commission on Climate Change (MCCC), alongside our amazing partners and sponsors. 

Over its three-year span, the Teach-In has grown exponentially from 25 participants in 2023 to an incredible 223 participating educators in 2025. As a reporting partner of the Bard College World-Wide Teach-In, Maryland ranked as the subnational and national leader in total climate education activities for the second consecutive year.
