SUMMARY:Climate Change Education PD: Fit for the future
DESCRIPTION:There is little curricula support to facilitate climate education in the classroom\, but there are more and more resources. Choosing the right resources and projects can be tricky.\nWhat is the right pitch for your young people and the community and what might they be interested in learning and doing? How might your school lead the community in developing hopeful practices that combat the climate anxiety that many of us are feeling? \nThis professional learning session is a taster. At this session (1.5 hours) we will explore the research about what education is needed as well as strategies to develop teaching and learning that support us all to contend with misinformation and enable us to be/teach informed citizens. \nPeta J. White is an Associate Professor in Science and Environmental Education at Deakin University and the Editor-In-Chief of the Australian Journal of Environmental Education. Peta Co-directs the Centre for Regenerating Futures – a Faculty Centre that explores Anthropocene challenges and decolonising practices while building researcher capacity. She educated in classrooms\, coordinated programs\, supported curriculum reform\, and prepared teachers in several jurisdictions across Canada and Australia. Her PhD explored learning to live sustainably as a platform to educate future teachers. Peta continues her commitment to initial teacher education leading courses\, units\, and programs and in-service teacher education through research-informed professional learning programs. Peta’s current research follows three narratives: science and biology education; sustainability\, environmental\, and climate change education; and collaborative/activist methodology and research.
