Population Connection’s Education Program is the only national population education program with a strong emphasis on teacher training for educators of grades pre-K through 12.
Since 1975, the program has developed age-appropriate, value-neutral curricula to complement students’ science and social science instruction about human population trends and their impacts on natural resources, environmental quality and human well-being. Classroom activities are also relevant to national and state-level content standards and all are matched to the content standards for a range of subject areas.
We also provide hands-on trainings nationwide and currently reach over 12,000 teachers and students annually in North America.
