Join us for the Teaching Climate Science Summit, a transformative three-day event from July 29th to July 31st at the CSIU (90 Lawton Drive, Milton PA) and virtually. This event will help K-12 teachers understand the environmental literacy and sustainability of the STEELS standards and how to incorporate Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEE) into their classrooms.
Day 1 starts with insights from Penn State climate scientist Dr. Raymond Najjar and virtual sessions led by science education researcher Mark Windschitl, focusing on fostering understanding, resilience, and a commitment to justice in teaching climate change.
Day 2 of the summit offers hands-on climate adventures – held at our local environmental education locations (Montour Preserve, 374 Preserve Road, Danville PA), featuring activities such as kayaking with water chemistry analysis and geocaching with a focus on trees as a carbon sink.
Day 3, participants will engage in action planning sessions, hybrid workshops on Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs), and collaborative lesson/unit planning sessions, empowering educators to enact positive change in their communities through climate education.
