Contemplative tonight as climate and sustainability education efforts funded by federal US grants across the nation get cancelled. We all knew it was coming. What will states and philanthropy fo to fill the vacuum?

Free Teacher Learning Resources to Support NGSS Implementation

What Are They?

The National Research Council's A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the resulting Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) represent a new vision to help all students understand the natural and built world. As educators realize this new vision, many problems of practice come up. STEM Teaching Tools are co-authored by teachers and researchers to illuminate these issues and give advice about how to accomplish specific pieces of the NGSS. The resources are short. direct. easily shareable, and offer links to other useful tools.

WHY THEY MATTER TO YOU

Teachers need tools to reflect on how their teaching aligns with the NGSS & NRC Framework vision These teacher learning resources have been designed to be easily shared with others.

District staff & PD providers can use these tools in professional development to support implementation of the new vision.

Schoolleaders can use the tools to understand crucial aspects of the new vision for K-12 science education and then implement plans to support teachers' professional growth.

I greatly admire Chris Kluwe's peaceful civil disobedience as his method of getting his points heard, they are definitely being heard. Questions: 1. Why is someone moved to take peaceful civil disobedience? 2. How can we use our power like this in other places? www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXW_...

In this piece by Dr. Britt Wray and Henna Hundal, I really appreciate the focus on productive ways to approach #ClimateEducation in response to the growing prevalence of #ClimateAnxiety in society. Check it out and share with those in your world who influence education! www.aamc.org/news/growing...

The growing toll of climate anxiety

Guilt, sadness, fear, worry over bringing children into the world. Eco-anxiety is growing. Here’s what doctors and medical educators can—and must—do to help.

The largest "Arctic amplification" is found in late fall and early winter. As sea ice begins refreezing, heat is released back into the overlying atmosphere. This energy transfer has been enhanced by the recent reductions in sea ice cover. Data using @berkeleyearth.bsky.social from 1979 to 2023.

Visualization showing polar stereographic maps for each October to December from 1979 to 2023 using a 1951-1980 climatological reference period. There is substantial spatial variability and a long-term warming trend. Graphic is available from https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/.
