CLEAPSS: Sustainability in science education

Friday January 10, 2025 08:45 - 09:35 GMT

Physics B23

We pay lip-service to green chemistry in the UK by including just one of the 12 published reasons from the American Chemical Society, for adopting a green chemistry approach. There are at least 5 more that are applicable to school practical chemistry. In this talk for teachers, technicians, publishers, exam bodies and consultants, we will show, with live demonstrations and videos, some of the results of adopting “green” principles. The talk will also cover the latest developments in Hydrogen based fuels in schools.

Good Practical Science: using formative assessment techniques to help students prepare for exams

Friday January 10, 2025 08:45 - 09:35 GMT

Pope LT C17

Imagine telling your students that their upcoming science mock exam is the most important exam of their life. Imagine the pressure this puts them under. Imagine the enormous quantity of information that they feel they need to ‘know’ for their exam. Imagine thinking that some revision lessons on ‘difficult topics’, and some general advice on revision will help.

Imagine doing this with the majority of students every year. Without question.

Imagine if you did question whether there was a ‘different way’. For many years, like most other science teachers, I had assumed that there was no ‘other’ way. Then I asked the question, and started on a journey, during which I used all my knowledge of formative assessment, built up since my early involvement with the King’s College team and the ‘Inside The Black Box’ project, to develop new formative methods for preparing my students for their science examinations. This journey resulted in the total breakdown of the differentiation between preparation for summative assessments, such as mock exams, and the formative assessment techniques that my students were used to using in their lessons.

Imagine the end result of the journey being a totally different, more formative, approach to both preparation for exams, and of the revision done, by students.

Imagine discovering that this benefitted every students’, confidence with their science exams, regardless of their abilities and past attainment. Imagine that this also resulted in far better examination results across the board.

Imagine that nothing on my journey involved any more work for the students, nor for the teacher.

Imagine if you could get the benefits of the first part of my journey in a single session at this year’s ASE conference.

Imagine a totally new approach to linking formative and summative assessment to help students prepare for their science exams.

Coates C27

Can the whole of the Atomic Structure GCSE unit be taught and learnt in one hour? This workshop will explore the impact of Spaced Learning within lessons in physics education. This statistically significant study shows how recent advances in our understanding of neuroscience can be applied to the classroom to maximise learning rates.

Delegates will explore evidence-based approaches to implement Spaced Learning in their teaching, as well as gaining insight in this exciting area of cognitive science. Although the research study and associated peer-reviewed article presented is focused on physics teaching and learning, the strategies discussed are highly transferrable to other areas of the curriculum.

STEM and Metacognition - What Strategies Complement Our Teaching?

Friday January 10, 2025 08:45 - 09:35 GMT

Pope A34

Metacognition is a hugely powerful pedagogy. In fact, it is the highest rated impact that EEF have researched. Beyond this, it is also a key part of ITT and high-quality CPD, as defined by OFSTED. However, it is quite a complex theory, and often ignored by schools and teachers alike.

This session will look to address these difficulties, by presenting a number of high-quality metacognitive strategies which can be introduced quickly and successfully into the STEM classroom.

These strategies build from work undertaken with OUP, around the ideas of planning, monitoring and evaluation. No teacher will leave this session without new or improved strategies that they can instantly introduce into their classroom.

ECT's Keynote: Should practical work be like recipes?

Friday January 10, 2025 09:45 - 10:35 GMT

Pope LT C17

Engaging students in the practice of science is fundamental for learning. Debate persists over how this can be achieved in the classroom and the research reveals the potential and caution required if teachers are to utilise practical science activities effectively, as ‘hands-on’ and ‘minds-on’ learning opportunities.

In this keynote, we will review and discuss the importance of facilitating practical work that supports students’ deep intellectual engagement with the practice of science during inquiry-based activities and how this translates into improved learning.

We will reconsider research around inquiry-based learning, cognitive acceleration in science education, and classroom dialogue through a practical science lens. This body of research provides valuable insights into how this can be achieved in your classroom. Drawing from the real-classroom experiences of KS2-KS4 teachers (like you) who have adapted their pedagogical and assessment practices, we will illustrate how practical science activity can engage students in minds-on learning.

Science education in an age of Misinformation

Friday January 10, 2025 09:45 - 10:35 GMT

ESLC B01

We are living in an Age of Misinformation – much of it scientific. The problem is compounded by: a) the hubris that comes from the belief that Google can provide all the answers; b) the fallacious belief that we have no need of experts; and c) a science education which deludes itself that it can educate students to be scientifically literate. Yet nothing could be further from the truth as we are all dependent on the expertise of scientists as we are on the expertise of a plumber, lawyer or doctor. Most of the science that we encounter from how to mitigate climate change to the risks of vaccination are too complex and way beyond the boundaries of school science. The issue, it will be shown, is not one of evaluating the science but rather make judgements of credibility of scientific experts and the claims they put forward. What can and must school science do to help?

This workshop will present the findings of an international, interdisciplinary team which explored this issue and the recommendations that emerged from their work in the report – Science Education in an Age of Misinformation (available from https://sciedandmisinfo.stanford.edu/) . The workshop will be interactive drawing on classroom examples for participants to discuss and explore requiring the use of foundational media literacy strategies and the use of three key questions that must be asked of any scientific claim. These are: Is there a conflict of interest? Does this person/organization have the appropriate scientific expertise? And is there a scientific consensus on this topic?

Participants will have an opportunity to consider what they can do in their classrooms and discuss the arguments for why current curricula are woefully inadequate in addressing scientific misinformation which is undermining belief in science, and more broadly, belief in democracy.

Improving engagement and attainment in Science in Alternative Provision

Friday January 10, 2025 11:15 - 12:05 GMT

Coates C22

Since moving from mainstream secondary education to work in Alternative Provision (AP*) in September 2022, Gemma has been tackling the question of what a meaningful, fit-for-purpose, and successful science curriculum, looks like in this setting. Very little is written about the curriculum in AP in general, and there is even less writing or data on Science in AP. Science provision in AP is patchy across the country, with some provisions unable to find a science teacher and dropping the subject from the curriculum. Many science teachers working in AP are the sole teacher, or work in a team of two people, and the vast majority work without a technician. Finding herself in a similar situation, Gemma reached out to others and formed the Science in AP network.

Many young people excluded from school, at risk of exclusion, or unable to access mainstream education due to SEMH needs, have poor prior experiences of science education. Reflecting the national trend, seen in research such as the Science Education Tracker, many of these young people have the least access to practical science work and enrichment opportunities - both when they have been in mainstream schools and during their time in AP.

In this session Gemma will talk about her journey so far in developing a science curriculum in AP. We will look at ways to adapt a curriculum to a setting where students come and go, and may join with many gaps in their education. We will also look at ways to enable students in AP to access practical science and science enrichment opportunities - even when budgets are tight!

The session will also discuss how the lessons from AP can be applied to mainstream secondary education - ensuring students at risk of exclusion are not excluded from the science classroom before they are even excluded from school.

Using microscale to develop experiments with purpose

Friday January 10, 2025 11:15 - 12:05 GMT

Chemistry lab B5

Despite recent efforts from Ofqual to raise the profile of experiments in terminal GCSE assessments, recent research reviews from Ofsted suggest that teachers frequently focus on substantive knowledge at the expense of detailed understanding of the experimental skills (the working scientifically skills) required to undertake scientific enquiry. Consequently, research nationally and internationally suggests that teachers adopt recipe-style experiments restricting students' curiosity and scientific understanding.

Microscale experiments offer an affordable and safe pedagogic strategy to support teachers move beyond a recipe-based approach to experimentation and support teachers diagnose and challenge the misconceptions held by students. Moreover, our recent research has shown that offering early career teachers professional development, including microscale experiments within their teaching practice, can be revolutionary. However, teachers are yet to adopt microscale experiments readily, given concerns about compliance with terminal examinations.

Through a suite of hands on minds on microscale experiments, this interactive practical session explores how microscale experiments can support delegates to develop enquiry skills as part of their everyday teaching practice. We offer a range of microscale practicals that align with the required practicals in the GCSE and A-level chemistry curricula in England. In doing so, we provide guidance that supports delegates to center working scientifically skills in their teaching and support their students' understanding of the practical components of the chemistry curriculum in England. By attending this workshop, delegates will uncover the power of microscale experiments. Delegates will examine how microscale practicals are valuable time-saving tools that act as a springboard to develop oracy in their classroom. To support delegates embed microscale practicals in their teaching, each attendee will receive copies of 7 GCSE and 4 A-level microscale experimental methods and accompanying worksheets.

Grasping UNESCO Sustainability Competencies through Gaming

Friday January 10, 2025 11:15 - 12:05 GMT

ESLC B01

Einstein once said that “without changing our pattern of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought.” These words emphasise the role of climate education and educators in “equipping learners with the skills, attributes and competencies required to safeguard our [highly interconnected] social, environmental and economic wellbeing” as encapsulated in UNESCO’s definition of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

Understanding complex global issues requires a new ‘way of thinking’ that consider the many interactions that occur within and across ecological, social and economic systems. Furthermore, people who score higher on ‘systems thinking’ are consistently more likely to be better informed of value issues like climate change as personally important and so take more effective action.
Climate Fresk, is a highly engaging, gamified workshop, based in information taken from the latest IPCC Assessment Report3. This workshop is designed to facilitate conversations among participants and challenge their assumptions in relation to the mechanisms of climate change.

Having featured recently as a very popular article in ASE's own Primary Science journal and used extensively in teacher training, CPD courses and partnership schools at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland’s National ITE establishment, this workshop will be of intense interest to ASE members as it illustrates how to help children and teachers exercise their anticipatory and systems thinking competencies through use of a fun gaming platform as they gain an understanding of emergent earth system behaviour, involving feedback loops and climate tipping points, and the potential impacts of this behaviour on highly interconnected ecological, social and economic systems.

Making Climate Action Plans impactful

Friday January 10, 2025 12:15 - 13:05 GMT

Pope LT C15

We all need Climate Action Plans and Sustainability Leads but how do we make them impactful to deliver the scale of change needed at the pace that's needed? This presentation will describe the journey we are undertaking at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge. A summary of our thinking behind the journey can be read in an article entitled 'The role of the education sector in shaping a sustainable future' in the Journal of Biological Education here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00219266.2024.2288418.

This presentation will cover:
•Developing a culture for sustainability in an organisation
•How to reduce your institution's carbon footprint
•Ways to incorporate sustainability into the curriculum
•Enhancing careers education
•Developing a voice to push for change.

Whether you are in initial teacher education, an early career teacher, an experienced teacher, someone with management responsibilities or in an organisation supporting the education sector you can be part of driving this agenda forward. There are a vast number of organisations supporting the education sector to move forward with sustainability and this can be daunting at times. This talk aims to give you concrete ideas for taking back to your organisation to help drive the change needed at the pace that's needed.

Supporting students in developing effective revision strategies

Friday January 10, 2025 12:15 - 13:05 GMT

Pope A34

It may seem obvious but revising/studying for an exam improves student outcomes on the exam. However, how students revise and the strategies they use can have a big influence on these outcomes. In recent years, evidence drawn from cognitive psychology has given teachers a much better insight and understanding of effective teaching and study strategies. However, the students may not be utilising these strategies when undertaking independent study.

In this session we will explore the evidence base into effective revision strategies and present findings from our recent study that focussed on developing effective revision strategies for GCSE science. Findings suggest that a sequenced approach to revision is helpful and that effective techniques need to be taught and embedded into the curriculum.

How clean is the air that surrounds you where you live or that you breathe on your walk to school or work? Are there as many insects as there should there be in your garden or local park and does this number matter?
These kinds of starter questions have been used successfully to engage participants throughout the UK in a Citizen Science initiative called the ‘Open Air Laboratories Project’. Insights gained have helped shape the creation and implementation of scientific learning resources that can be adapted for use in diverse groups and settings, to improve understanding not only of our environment, but of more complex ideas such as ‘connectivity’ and ‘change’.

Enabling learners to think about their thinking in science

Friday January 10, 2025 13:15 - 14:05 GMT

Pope A34

A recent Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) evidence review of metacognition and self-regulated learning (Muijs & Bokhove, 2020) suggests that enabling learners to apply metacognitive strategies in the classroom can have a high impact on learning outcomes. The summary guidance report (https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-evidence/guidance-reports/metacognition) identifies seven recommendations and these include setting an appropriate level of challenge and promoting metacognitive talk between learners during whole class dialogue.

Metacognition and cognitive conflict are two of the key pedagogical pillars that underpin the seminal research into Cognitive Acceleration, established in 1981 by Michael Shayer, Philip Adey and Carolyn Yates at King's College, London. In this research, metacognition is defined as a learner’s ability to ‘think about their thinking’. The professional learning programme and teaching resources, arising from this work, translated this research into a series of classroom lessons, initially within the context of secondary science (CASE). Since its inception, the theoretical principles of Cognitive Acceleration have been applied across different age phases (5-11 years) and curriculum subjects (e.g. maths CAME) and English (LTE)). Collectively, these learning, teaching and professional development resources provide practical classroom approaches aimed at enabling learners to develop their ability to think and think about their thinking.

The EEF review of metacognition and self-regulated learning draws attention to understanding the differences between developing a learner’s knowledge of how they think, the strategies they employ to achieve this and their ability to select, regulate and evaluate the effectiveness of using different strategies. Findings within this review also suggest that teaching metacognitive and self-regulated strategies discretely, outside of the curriculum as stand-alone ‘thinking lessons’ is less effective and calls for teachers to identify subject specific teaching opportunities where metacognitive strategies can be applied appropriately within curriculum subjects.
In this interactive workshop, a team of current CA tutors and those involved in the research will draw from these materials to offer some classroom strategies (and insights) that will support you in enabling learners to think about their thinking in science in today's classroom. This session will include presentation, interaction and professional reflection . We will revisit the theory behind Cognitive Acceleration and model teaching approaches that bring this theory to life in a science classroom. Within the context of both secondary and primary science, this session will support you to consider:

How do I establish a learning environment that promotes a culture of thinking and curiosity?
How can I introduce an appropriate level of collaborative challenge in my science lessons?
How might I employ classroom dialogue (metacognitive talk) to facilitate challenge (and conflict) and metacognition in my science lessons?

Making classification relevant

Friday January 10, 2025 13:15 - 14:05 GMT

Physics A01

From biodiversity loss to the impacts of climate change, classification is a foundational skill for understanding many ecological problems. Based on work from the Natural History Museum's Urban Nature Project, participants will classify insects in real samples and explore how classification helps people understand ecological problems and find better solutions. This practical session also gives participants a taster of some of the lab work which often follows summer biology field work, presenting a range of resources and ideas for use in the classroom.

This session uses insects collected in light traps, which many nature reserves and biologists use to monitor moth populations. These traps also collect a wide range of small flying insects which are often simply released or discarded. One of the main barriers to scientists being able to tap into this potential source of information is lack of time to sort through samples. While identification of individual species can be very difficult, classification of specimens to the much broader order level is much more accessible (piloted with students as young as year 4). Classification to this level is still a valuable contribution, allowing samples to get to the right specialist much more quickly.

This session also presents a vision for how schools might partner with local nature reserves and biologists. Schools would be able to provide engaging, real-world, science practicals for their students, while also contributing to scientists’ understanding of the biodiversity and ecology of their area.

Enhancing science education by the ways of thinking and working in science

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

ESLC B05

This work is based on research about Cognitive Acceleration in Science Education (CASE) and recent trends in science teaching, related to the integration of scientific practices and the development of critical thinking and high-order skills in students (Kuhn & Lerman, 2021; Merta Dhewa et al., 2017; Oliver & Venville, 2015; Osborne, 2014). The work describes a proposal for science teaching at a public high school in the United Kingdom (St Joseph’s Catholic High School, Slough, UK)

The proposal encompasses 15 teaching units that engage students in inquiring, modelling, and argumentation practices around challenging learning scenarios found in the National Curriculum for Physics. The learning scenarios confront students’ initial ideas and engage them in outlining initial models that will be confronted with the results of hands-on work that creates a need for exploring and understanding. The teacher’s guide is essential to trigger the social construction of knowledge and the development of metacognitive skills in students, through small-group and whole-group discussions. Argumentation is carefully scaffolded to stimulate students’ logical reasoning and to support them in the development of evidence-based conclusions.

In addition, the teaching units integrate specific episodes of the history of science providing meaningful contexts to understand how and why particular scientific explanatory models around big ideas related to energy, forces, or the properties and structure of matter were built. These episodes are meaningfully connected to the topic explored in any teaching unit and in combination with the experimental work and guided reasoning, provide a powerful approach to support the reconstruction of students’ initial models.

This work is part of a PhD thesis using a pre/post-research design to evaluate the impact of the intervention on students’ knowledge and skills. In addition, qualitative and quantitative methods will be applied to analyse students’ artefacts and the teacher and students interactions to develop a better understanding of the process that fosters cognitive development and scientific reasoning in students

Cheap and easy to use microcontrollers such as Arduino, BBC Micro:bit, and the Crumble are an excellent way to enhance your 11-18 physics curriculum. In this session we showcase and practice how to integrate strands of the computing curriculum into the physics classroom with hands on demonstrations of how you can build on your students programming skills.

Programming RGB LEDs to model the life cycle of stars (KS5 Physics)

Coding a reaction time experiment (KS3-4 Physics)

Visualising potential divider circuits (KS4-5 Physics)

Sensing circuits and control (BTEC/Vocational) is presented as a curriculum case study:
We teach a module focusing on sensors and transducers as part of the Applied Science BTEC course. To escape the monotony of multimeters, we have adapted the scheme of work to incorporate Micro:Bits instead. Using simple breadboard circuits to connect various sensors to the Micro:Bit, and quick drag & drop coding to retrieve data from them, we get meaningful readings which can be immediately put into contextual applications. In one experiment we use a reed switch to sound a burglar alarm, in another we make an LED array tell the user if their plant’s soil is too wet, too dry or just right. Students leave equipped with the theoretical knowledge of how sensors work, the practical skills to use them in real-life scenarios, and the confidence to explore further.

Is Neuorodivergence a science superpower? Supporting neurodiverse teachers and students

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

ESLC C01

In the evolving landscape of education, embracing neurodiversity is essential as more adolescents and adults become aware of their neurodiverse traits and the impact on their daily lives. There is greater acceptance in the science community that a neurodiverse team brings many benefits, but how can we adapt our learning environments to allow everyone to flourish? This session explores the hidden strengths and the needs of neurodivergent teachers and students. We will be exploring strategies to create supportive, inclusive science classrooms, and what needs to be addressed at the institution level.

The New ‘Normal’ and Neurodiversity
We will challenge traditional notions of normality, highlighting the unique strengths neurodivergent individuals bring to science, such as hyperfocus and creativity. Real-life examples will illustrate their significant contributions.

Supporting Neurodivergent Students and Teachers

Nature-based enrichment of the secondary curriculum: A biology and physics focus

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

Chemistry lab B5

School grounds will almost all have a variety of habitats and microclimates – even if just unkempt vegetation, a tree or two, asphalt and all-weather sports “grass”. These can be the starting point for helping students to discover how our urban spaces can be developed to influence resilience climate change, even if first learning is to suggest what not to do! For the future, school grounds will play a very significant role in schools’ Climate Action Plans.
The Coop Manchester Academy, 11-16, has been a pilot school for the National Education Nature Park (NENP). This session will look at the progress made with the steps that they have taken with their outside space and the impact that this is having within the formal curriculum across the sciences for instance in fieldwork, and in a multitude of ways outside it. Richard (STEM lead and Science Technician) and Aimee (physics and science teacher) will have very practical advice about what the simplest steps can be to “greening” your grounds, the connections that offer support and developing change in your school.

School grounds are a haven for STEM in action – from engineering to ecology. Melissa will discuss how observations in hot weather can inspire learning in sometimes dull-to-teach areas of physics, bringing Science Capital to lessons, showing the difference that planning and planting for nature and climate can make. Infra-red images, and also low-cost infra-red thermometers, will show how the thermal picture of your school can be revealed – even though much of this can be found from simple experience on a hot day. This will link with teaching about e.g. latent heat – making very important biology connections with transpiration, specific heat capacity and materials, the e/m spectrum and the greenhouse effect. Resources for lessons on the NENP website will be referenced.

Delegate outcomes:
Awareness of
•how your school grounds, whatever their current state, can be a resource for learning
•links with specific parts of GCSE (and KS3) sciences
•material available on NENP website for connecting with 11-16 teaching in the sciences
•using infra-red thermometers and images – enlivening thermal physics and adding cross curricular dimensions
•steps to improve your school grounds for nature
•careers relevance in fields such as construction, landscape architecture, civil engineering, materials and urban design, as well as routes via ecology
•potential enhanced engagement of students in STEM climate relevant action and connections

Is there time and space for climate change in the curriculum?

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

Physics C30

This workshop will share the outcomes from two research projects investigating climate change education across the sector.

The first research project includes 14 case studies to find out how school leaders are tackling the Department for Education’s Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy in primary and secondary schools, colleges and at Multi-Academy Trust and local authority level.

The aims of research project two were: to explore teacher confidence in teaching aspects of climate change; and to gain an understanding of primary teachers ’needs to support effective climate change teaching and learning in different curriculum subjects.

Findings from both research projects will be summarised and themes drawn out. There will be an opportunity for participants to discuss and reflect on project outcomes and take away potential ideas to develop in their own schools and settings, as well as professional development providers.

Delegates will have:
•a greater understanding of how education settings are tackling the Department for Education’s Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy.
•insights into teachers ’confidence and understanding in teaching aspects of climate change and highlight issues of climate anxiety if any.
•considered the challenges of and explored some practical solutions to teaching climate change and sustainability (with a focus on primary subject leaders).

Should we use Retrieval Practice? Moving towards Retrieval-based Learning

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

Pope A34

In recent years, education in England has seen a move towards ‘evidenced-based’ practice with the Department for Education privileging ideas and practice drawn from cognitive science.

An area that has gained significant interest is that of ‘retrieval practice’. On the face of it, retrieval practice appears to be an intuitive and easy to implement strategy for a teacher, as it requires students to retrieve (remember) information from their long-term memory, rather than passively restudy it. The act of deliberately retrieving information then improves the retention and later retrieval of that information, which is often referred to as the ‘testing effect’.

Despite there being strong evidence that retrieval practice supports learning, there are a number of issues that teachers should be aware of when translating the research into effective classroom practice.

This session aims to share some of the issues that retrieval practice research raises for teachers and discusses some key consideration for teachers who already use or want to use retrieval-based strategies in their practice. Drawing on findings from two recent research projects, the concept of retrieval-based learning will be outlined, along with key ideas to support the development of effective and efficient strategies.

Frontier Science: Under the microscope - bringing electron microscopy to life for all audiences

Friday January 10, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

Coates C27

Electron Microscopy (EM) is a powerful tool that reveals structures at the micro and nanoscales, offering a unique window into the microscopic world. Despite its transformative capabilities, EM remains relatively unknown outside of academic circles, with minimal exposure in standard school curricula—briefly touched on at A-level biology. Yet, its potential to enhance learning goes far beyond the sciences. Imagine teaching cell biology by showing real EM images of different cell types, or bringing abstract concepts to life in subjects like history with stunning details of ancient glass.

Under the Microscope is a public engagement initiative designed around a simple yet exciting question: "What would you like to see imaged at the microscale?" This talk explores how EM can break down barriers and captivate diverse audiences. Since its inception in 2023, it has evolved from being purely online to being shown on TV, going international, and reaching local communities including children from SEND backgrounds.

Join Dr. Luke Norman as he demonstrates how a single concept can be adapted to reach different audiences through creative mediums. Like Ant-Man, get ready to shrink down and explore the fascinating world at the nanoscale, where every detail tells a story.

Effective approaches to climate education within the classroom and beyond

Friday January 10, 2025 15:45 - 16:35 GMT

Physics C30

Effective science education needs to reach beyond the classroom – climate and ecological education is vital knowledge that is essential in the real world and can unite entire school communities. Current approaches to climate education fall short of equipping our pupils with the skills they need for their futures, leaving them helpless and hopeless in the face of the climate crisis.

In this interactive session, SOS-UK and Teach the Teacher young people will share solutions to this issue, explore intergenerational approaches, curriculum tracked changes, and ideas into how we facilitate two-way learning between students and teachers, school staff, and even how that knowledge is shared with families back at home too. Breaking climate education out of its silo empowers our young people to make real change, while feeling supported by the educators around them.
