It is important that we prepare tomorrow's scientists, decision makers and citizens to address the societal impacts of a changing climate. In order to respond, manage, and adapt to those change citizens of all ages need accurate, up to date information, knowledge of the sciences, and analytical skills to make responsible decisions and long-term plans regarding these challenging topics. The Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN, http://cleanet.org) is providing
1) teaching resources for educators through the CLEAN Collection and pedagogical support for teaching climate and energy science, and
2) facilitating a professionally diverse community of climate and energy literacy stakeholders, called the CLEAN Network, to share and leverage their efforts to extent their reach and effectiveness.
This poster will provide an overview of the CLEAN webportal. We will showcase the CLEAN Collection, which is comprised of 650+ resources (activities, videos, visualizations, and short demonstrations and experiments) that were reviewed for scientific accuracy, pedagogical effectiveness, and technical quality. The search interface allows for search by topic, grade level, resource type and Next Generation Science Standards among other filters. We will also summarize the updated version of the Teaching Climate and Energy Pedagogical Support Pages that outline common misconceptions and challenges as well as tips for teaching climate and energy topics. We will further include a brief summary of the activities of the professionally diverse community of climate and energy literacy stakeholders – the CLEAN Network.
