Synopsis
Looking to tackle climate change and climate science in your classroom? This timely and insightful book supports secondary science teachers in developing effective curricula around the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by grounding their instruction on the climate crisis. This new edition focuses on meeting teachers where they are in their teaching and learning while tending to various contexts, communities, and cultures to activate educators in understanding and responding to the climate crisis in this moment. Chapters offer design and implementation support for 21st-century learning experiences centered around the climate emergency for meaningful engagement. Dr. Lê provides an overview of the teaching shifts needed for the NGSS using climate change as the vehicle of instruction. She also supports climate literacy for students and teachers via urgent topics in climate science and environmental justice. Teachers will also learn how to engage with the complexities of climate change by exploring social, racial, and environmental injustices stemming from the climate crisis that directly impact their students. Examples of successful applications of these learning experiences are new to the second edition, as well as added activities and overall updates to research and data. By anchoring instruction on the climate emergency through an intersectional lens starting with teachers’ core beliefs and values, Dr. Lê offers guidance on how educators can activate students as agents of change for their own communities.
