Project Learning Tree provides a wealth of teaching resources for formal and nonformal educators. Additional resources and new support materials are also available to enhance teaching about climate change, trauma-informed approaches to environmental education, social and emotional learning, and work with English language learners. While most PLT curriculum materials (printed or electronic) are available for free by participating in an in-person or online professional development workshop, curriculum materials are also available for purchase by educators at http://shop.plt.org.
