Come learn with EarthGen in this fully asynchronous professional development opportunity designed for Washington teachers who have not yet participated in a STEM Seminar. Through asynchronous learning via Canvas, participants will have a chance to authentically engage with activities and experts as they grow their understanding of how climate change has and will impact their community. Participants will be introduced to climate change through a video series by Dr. Kat Huybers, a climate scientist and lecturer from the University of Washington. Participants will engage with NGSS concepts including developing and using models, and obtaining, interpreting, and communicating information. Additionally, they will analyze and interpret recent climate science data and progress understanding on the most salient climate change indicators in Washington.
Teachers will leave this training with increased preparedness to facilitate climate science-focused activities using the science & engineering practices of analyzing and interpreting data and constructing explanations and designing solutions. Teachers will learn from peers through the asynchronous learning space to reflect on how others may be incorporating climate science into their classrooms across the state.
Participants can register at any time but must complete all coursework by the end date.
