Quote byDylan Wince , U.S. history and psychology teacher, Arizona

“[The climate change lessons] I’m teaching in Arizona will not look identical to what teachers in Minnesota and Florida are teaching about. Starting with our students’ lived experiences and helping them ask the right questions is the best place to start.”
—Dylan Wince , U.S. history and psychology teacher, Arizona
