Material type:
TextPublisher: New York : Routledge, 2021Description: xxii, 199 pages : ill.; 24cmISBN: 978-0-367-75233-0Subject(s): Study and teaching (Middle school) | Study and teaching (Secondary) | Next Generation Science Standards (Education)DDC classification: TR 577.2 L433 2021 Summary: Looking to tackle climate change and climate science in your classroom? This timely and insightful book supports and enables secondary science teachers to develop effective curricula ready to meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by grounding their instruction on the climate crisis. Nearly one-third of the secondary science standards relate directly to climate science, but teachers need design and implementation support to create empowering learning experiences centered around the climate crisis. Science educator and instructional coach Kelley Le offers this support, providing an overview of the teaching shifts needed for NGSS and to support climate literacy for students via urgent topics in climate science and environmental justice-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global warming, rising sea temperatures, deforestation, and mass extinction. You'll also learn how to engage the complexity of climate change by exploring social, racial, and environmental injustices stemming from the climate crisis that directly impact students. By anchoring instruction around the climate crisis, Kelley Le offers guidance on how to empower students to be the agents of change needed in their own communities. A range of additional teacher resources are also available at www.EmpoweredScienceTeachers.com. Kelley T. Le, Ed.D., is currently the Director of the Science Project at UCI, where she supports K-12 teachers, educational leaders, and school districts with science education"-- Provided by publisher
