Climate Change Lessons By Teachers

Olivia Dulany

K-12 teacher

Hello! My name is Olivia and I will be going into my third year of teaching. I am originally from Bethesda, MD, and went to college in Massachusetts, where I studied Psychology and Africana Studies. Upon my graduation from college, I joined Teach for America’s 2021 Hawai’i cohort. It was during those years that I developed my passion for teaching English through a social justice lens. I also really enjoyed teaching my students about climate sustainability and loved experiencing the ways we would all inspire one another to be active change makers in our community. I became involved with Subject to Climate this past summer as a Hawai’i fellow and am thrilled to continue to partner with them as I create content that is student-centered and SEL-focused.
