Meet the New York Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards Climate Action Crosswalks
Contact us today for a copy of our New York Computer Science Standards – Climate Action Crosswalk.
The new New York Computer Science (CS) and Digital Fluency Learning Standards emphasize integrating computational thinking and data analysis with climate literacy to enhance students’ understanding of both subjects. These standards encourage students to create models, visualize data, and develop technological solutions that consider environmental impacts, fostering skills in problem-solving and critical thinking. Take Action Global has created alignment maps between the computer science standards and climate literacy standards to facilitate this integration, ensuring that educators can seamlessly incorporate climate education into their CS curricula.
These programs enable students to collect and analyze climate data, develop sustainable solutions, and advocate for environmental stewardship through technology, aligning perfectly with the new standards and empowering students to contribute to global climate resilience.
“New York City is leading the way to protect our city, Mother Earth, and all New Yorkers from the effects of climate change. We love to see young people engage in as citizens, learn how to advocate for yourself and your communities and new generation getting stuff done. I want to congratulate all of you for taking part and Take Action Global. You are learning what it takes to make a difference.”
“Working with TAG has provided us with a means of networking with educators and students all over the world who are working toward a common goal of helping to protect and preserve our planet. It continues to make a positive impact in our school and community as well as helping students learn important approaches to environmental problem-solving. The opportunities the TAG program has shared with Smithtown have helped us become part of a network of sharing and partnership, and have helped our students collaborate, gain skills, and feel empowered.”
“We are so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Take Action Global. This program directly aligns with our goal to create interdisciplinary learning experiences that support climate action and provide meaningful global connections. It will also further the development of culturally-responsive and sustaining instructional practices that enhance the academic achievement of the English Language Learners that our teachers serve.”
“Virtual exchange programs shatter classroom walls, fostering global collaboration that enriches student learning, ignites curiosity about the world, and cultivates empathy, all while preparing them to be citizens of a truly interconnected world.”
