I’m Colleen Fisk, the Energy Education Director for the non-profit Renewable Energy Alaska Project 00:16:28 Katie Boyd: The link for the Climate Generation et all summer institute: https://www.climategen.org/our-core-programs/climate-change-education/professional-development/summer-institute/ 00:16:36 AMS Education: Wendy Abshire, I am the director of the American Meteorological society Education Program and we offer 5 earth science PD opportunities for k-12 teachers including a course in climate science. 00:16:44 Patrick David Chandler: Hi All, I'm Patrick Chandler- University of Colorado PhD student and CLEAN Coordinator. Good to see y'all! 00:17:08 Deb Morrison: Ellen rocks! 00:17:20 Don Haas: Hi All, Don Haas, Director of Teacher Programming at the Paleontological Research Institution and one of the authors of The Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change. 00:17:23 Anne Gold: Hi All, I am Anne Gold, Director of CIRES Education and Outreach and CLEAN co-coordinator 00:17:23 James Callahan: James Callahan ClimateChangeEducation.org Very interesting K-12 professional development planning now in California statewide, now through mid-May. We're a part of. Workforce education on energy efficiency. How over $8 million will be awarded to education programs over the next three years. Would love to have more education programs involved that connect climate education and climate action -- specifically in energy education. jamesc@climatechangeeducation.org 00:18:14 Tamara Ledley: I am Tamara Ledley, - working toward a new teacher professional development program - a Climate Teacher Professional Learning Community. I am also an EnROADS Climate Ambassador and am offering to run Climate Solucations Workshops (virtually and hopefully eventually face-to-face for any teacher, student and community groups. I also teach Global Climate Change to undergraduate business students at Bentley University. 00:18:59 Youth Climate Program: Hi all, Jen Kretser - Director of Climate Initiatives at The Wild Center. www.wildcenter.org/youth-climate-program also on CLEAN Board and ECOS Steering Committee. Excited about todays call! Nice to see everyone 00:21:09 amyframe: Hello PD people! Amy Frame from Ten Strands in CA here, working on statewide Environmental and Climate Literacy. 00:22:23 Deb Morrison: Great to have you here Amy. 00:28:52 Katie Boyd: I love that metaphor for teachers, Deb - bridges! 00:29:28 Tamara Ledley: Teachers are also connected to the climate related issues in their local context - as Deb is saying now. 00:29:47 Katie Boyd: No, I don’t see an email from Frank with the slides fr this week 00:30:21 Deb Morrison: Definitely aspirational across the full educational system….but lots of evidence to show it works well to centre teachers and youth in this work. 00:30:28 Katie Boyd: (Sorry that message was meant for Patrick) 00:31:35 James Brey: Jim Brey here. I work with local environmental organizations and corporate heads hoping to inform and influence people in Wisconsin. I have worked for years with K-12 teachers in the Earth Sciences both as a professor of geography and geology in the University of Wisconsin System and with the AMS Education Program. I’ve been involved with the CLEAN Network for many years. 00:32:20 Deb Morrison: Designing for the margins is a terrific approach to centre climate justice efforts in ed. 00:32:34 Deb Morrison: BTW our site for the ClimeTime work in WA is climetime.org 00:33:22 James Callahan: Question: Is it possible to truly follow NGSS standards and NOT be introducing the basics of climate science? Of course, it is possible to not teach sound science. It is possible to teach only what was understood over 200 years ago. Examples in NGSS standards: energy, atmospheres, light, planets (think Venus), heat, motion... These are all fundamental to climate science. Not scary, not too hard for stundets to understand. So question: should we turn the question around. How can we utilize NGSS while stripping out anything related to climate science? Starting in elementary school. 00:33:46 EmilyCoren: We can broaden climate education into other subject areas by overlapping curriculum with language arts/social studies/arts/math by integrating agency stories that are regionally and culturally relevant. 00:36:14 Deb Morrison: This place based approach helps us do the deep integrated social, historical, scientific climate justice work together. 00:38:22 Frank Niepold: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EwSAqjdrUybeNeOhpVC8FIHJcG0WO-wY62GmbQiJz2Y/edit# 00:38:59 Deb Morrison: Shared vision of terms is so critical to all social learning work. 00:39:44 Youth Climate Program: I think the place-based approach allows for the community to be deeply imbedded and breaks down silos - and echoing everything Deb and Emily shared above 00:43:54 Youth Climate Program: Deb - Do you think that is because students are asking for that? 00:44:20 Deb Morrison: Yes I really think students’ concerns are being amplified through teachers in our systems. 00:44:30 James Callahan: Question: Would it help the ACE process if great discussions like these included actual in-school K-12 teachers? I know I learn so much when I am actually in the classrooms with the teachers we work most closely with. (Part of our team). Immediately after this call, I will be talking to one such in school teacher -- on plans through summer. There is no substitute for in-school experience on a regular basis. (Or Zoom calls with among the teachers and students.) Shall we create a space formore K-12 in-school teachers to take place in the ACE process? 00:44:53 Deb Morrison: I am an actual k-12 teacher FYI….also a learning scientist now. 00:45:58 Deb Morrison: Devarati…I know you have talked about this as well…teacher leadership 00:46:42 EmilyCoren: Does anyone here have a relationship with someone at Scholastic or any of the other book fair groups? 00:47:22 EmilyCoren: yes, to collaborative models. 00:48:14 Patrick David Chandler: Really appreciate this discussion. I'm wondering about our choice of terms and what we mean by them. Do we want to focus on equity or justice? The difference is important. 00:49:11 Ellen.Ebert: Our teachers serve both purposes. 00:49:21 amyframe: In California we are also working across the state to help community based organizations and schools, districts, and teachers come together for shared professional learning. The informal educators have local knowledge including about effects of climate change on local urban and wild ecosystems. The teachers are often just learning the NGSS standards as well. A big next step will be to bring in more non-science teachers. We are just starting to develop those teachers who come back to become teacher leaders to share these co-created curricular units with other teachers, but it’s tough!! 00:49:29 Youth Climate Program: Is there a dashboard for this type of collaborative work/model? I'm interested in how to build these learning ecosystems in communities 00:49:49 James Callahan: https://blog.lowellschool.org/blog/what-is-climate-literacy-protecting-and-preparing-our-children 00:50:19 Deb Morrison: Patrick….definitions of equity and justice in science ed can be found here in a way that is helpful: Rodriguez, A. J. (2015). What about a dimension of engagement, equity, and diversity practices? A critique of the next generation science standards. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 52(7), 1031-1051. 00:51:06 Deb Morrison: For us it is reputation, partnerships, long term sustained work in practice. 00:51:24 James Callahan: Earth Day blog paper by one of the leading K-12 teachers in the US. In my opinion, this is a must read for those in climate education. As well as parents, adminstratiors and fellolw teachers,. https://blog.lowellschool.org/blog/what-is-climate-literacy-protecting-and-preparing-our-children 00:52:17 Patrick David Chandler: Thanks, Deb 00:53:07 Deb Morrison: I think of equity as the how we organize for access and opportunity and justice as the product of equity work. Justice can be social, environmental, educational, climate…. 00:54:50 Youth Climate Program: yes!! What Lindsey said -- a schematic would be so helpful 00:57:57 AMS Education: My answer to Question 4 is: Funding =stability, staff, and time to do the work Conferences/Summits that convene these groups to make connections A roadmap! 00:59:12 Katherine Herleman: Everyone who wants to coordinate on this question - I want to hear your answers because I am designing the municipal outreach programming and funding architecture for New York State along with my colleagues in academia, K12, and community education. Please email me if you'd like to discuss further - kherleman@ene.com. 00:59:33 EmilyCoren: Agree with AMS Education. 00:59:48 Patrick David Chandler: I worry about the idea behind equity of providing the same thing to everyone when not everyone needs the same thing. If the goal is to provide folks the support they need rather than give the same to all, I'm not quite seeing how justice can come out of equity. I know we are all talking about the importance of addressing inequality, it would just be interesting to find a common set of terms that we feel mean the same thing- especially if we get to the point of external communication about this work. 01:00:43 Lindsey Kirkland: I agree with Patrick. Moving forward it would be great to have a co-created fund of knowledge (living doc?) where we can define concepts, goals, etc. 01:02:14 Karen Hollweg: Patrick makes an important point re: the idea behind equity of providing the same thing to everyone when not everyone needs the same thing. 01:04:18 Katie Boyd: That is a great point, Patrick. Because I’ve heard that the term ‘equality’ gets more at what you’ve described above as ‘equity’, where everyone gets the same treatment/etc. I thought equity was more about trying to address the differential needs of various groups. So considering we all have different considerations/contexts for each of these terms, it’d be great to have somewhere we can keep those terms/definitions we are using. 01:04:24 Katherine Herleman: We need to fund them more! $524M in direct funding in New York State...the results have been incredible in incentivizing local participation in clean energy and climate change mitigation, adaptation, resilience projects. 01:05:01 Abby Ruskey: All - another opportunity to delve into this topic more broadly is taking place tomorrow FYI: Radhika Iyengar, Director of Education, Center for Sustainable Development, The Earth Institute, Columbia University and Christina Kwauk, Fellow at the Brookings Institute and author of the recent report Roadblocks to quality education in a time of climate change are leading a virtual workshop called "Charting an SDG 4.7 roadmap for radical, transformative change in the midst of climate breakdown”. This session is tomorrow, Wednesday, April 28th from 9 a.m.-12:00 p.m. EST. Christina will present highlights from her timely report followed by panelists on topics include policy and advocacy, academics, nonprofits & community organizations, teachers perspectives and youth leadership. I will be joining one of the panels. This session has come together quickly and should be rich in information and exchange.

Unfortunately it starts at 5am Alaska time so I will not be able to attend 01:07:21 Don Haas: On equity: https://citizen.education/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/equalityequity.jpg 01:07:59 EmilyCoren: Anyone reached out to the children book publishers yet? Or, know where to start a conversation with them? 01:09:14 Deb Morrison: We had one of the publishers reach out to us about elementary literature. 01:09:59 EmilyCoren: Great! I’d like to follow-up on that conversation later. 01:10:05 Karen Hollweg: Great graphic, Don ! 01:10:55 James Callahan: Emily. Be sure to check in with Lynne Cherry on children't books. For experiences. While she is now best known for youth films, she also was a leading author. Book with Gasry Braasch 01:11:27 Anne Gold: What an amazing discussion! 01:11:27 Youth Climate Program: focus on the collective impact working with a constellation of likely and unlikely partners - as oppose to essentially the non profit Hunger Games 01:11:37 amyframe: Ten Strands is supporting county offices of education to do exactly that, connect schools with community organizations. 01:11:46 Deb Morrison: Absolutely on collaboration being the strategy. 01:11:50 Anne Gold: Thank you all for your thoughtful discussion and sharing your perspectives 01:12:00 EmilyCoren: Yes, I know Lynne. I was thinking about something larger and more systemic, like including Scholastic in the regionalization of climate story books. 01:12:12 Lindsey Kirkland: I have to jump to another meeting. Sorry for the early departure! Thanks Frank and everyone who participated! It was great to hear all of your ideas 01:12:15 Colleen Fisk: Thank you all! 01:12:17 Eric Pyle: Got to leave for a student group meeting….More to follow, Frank! 01:12:21 Youth Climate Program: finding ways to continue this discussion and listening sessions to fully inform the workgoing forward 01:12:24 Katie Boyd: Thanks everyone!!! Great discussion 01:12:38 Devarati Bhattacharya: Thanks everyone for a great discussion 01:12:39 amyframe: To connect districts with local orgs through PD. Can brainstorm and share about that if you’d like. Great session, everyone. 01:12:42 Ellen.Ebert: thank you so much, Frank! 01:12:56 EmilyCoren: Thanks, everyone! 01:13:01 Patrick David Chandler: Next week's CLEAN call is an informal conversation, so if folks would like to continue on any of these subjects we can move it forward then! 01:13:16 Don Haas: Got to head off to another meeting. Thanks all! 01:13:18 ecrobeck: Thanks to all. 01:13:22 AMS Education: Thank you all. Have to go to another call. We have more to do! 01:14:10 Abby Ruskey: Thanks Frank and Team! great to see the deepening of understanding taking place 01:14:18 Anne Gold: Thanks Frank and all panelists. 01:14:29 Youth Climate Program: thank you everyone!
