Show Notes
In February, the journal Science published an article entitled “Climate Confusion Among U.S. Teachers” that has been attracting a great deal of mainstream media attention. Examining a nationwide survey of how middle school and high science teachers address climate change in their classes, the article reveals some encouraging insights and uncovers a few areas for improvement. To better understand the impact of this article, Lab Out Loud welcomes Dr. David Evans, Executive Director of NSTA, to the show. Dr. Evans joins co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to discuss the results of the survey, suggest how recent implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards play a role in this conversation, and offer some suggestions on how to better support science educators in teaching climate change.
