She is an esteemed expert in the field of teacher education, with a particular emphasis on preparing educators to navigate the challenges of a climate-affected world. Through innovative training programs and curricula, she equips teachers with the tools to deliver culturally sensitive, socially just, and environmentally conscious education.
Dr. Weinberg a leading researcher in the intersection of education and climate change, specializing in developing participatory and dialogical processes for systemic transformation. With a strong focus on social justice, she collaborates with a diverse range of stakeholders—educators, learners, and policymakers—to address educational challenges in climate-impacted contexts, particularly for marginalized communities. Her groundbreaking work has made significant contributions to the field, shaping policies and curricula to build more equitable and just planetary futures.
Professor Weinberg currently teaches courses in sustainability science for elementary teachers.
- Ph.D. Education and Human Resource Studies, specialization: Research Methods, STEM Teacher Education, Colorado State University-Fort Collins 2013
- M.Ed. Education & Human Resource Studies, specialization: School Leadership, Colorado State University-Fort Collins 2006

Dr. Weinberg's research focuses on collaboration and collective engagement in K-12 and teacher education. This includes transdisciplinary teaching and learning for sustainable development through collaboration and collective engagement across K-12 and university-based teacher education contexts. She is engaged in youth-oriented PAR alongside an undergraduate students, and is studying the transformative learning experiences of preservice teachers, the extent of their preparedness to implement transformative (e.g., place-based) oriented pedagogies in P-12 classrooms, and the experiences that motivate future teachers toward action in their communities and classrooms. Further, she collaborates with elementary teachers to create and study curriculum centered on community-driven challenges including urban biodiversity loss, food waste, and equitable access to nutritious and culturally relevant foods in schools and in the community.
