Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be.

Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges of our era, demanding that educators take an active role in educating students about this global issue. Yet, delving into such a multifaceted and occasionally contentious topic can appear daunting. In a recent episode of Class Dismissed (Episode 251), we had the privilege of speaking with Mark Windschitl, a distinguished Professor of Science Teaching and Learning at the University of Washington, who also boasts a background as a former middle school science teacher. Windschitl, who has recently published a compelling book titled "Teaching Climate Change: Fostering Understanding, Resilience, and a Commitment to Justice," shared invaluable insights during our conversation. In particular, he discussed his strategies for addressing parental skepticism about climate change. To effectively navigate potential concerns from parents while teaching about climate change, educators can employ several proven strategies: 1. Open and Transparent Communication: At the outset of the school year, initiate a transparent dialogue with parents. Clearly outline your curriculum and educational goals, explicitly mentioning your intention to teach about climate change. Provide parents with an informative overview of the topics you plan to cover. 2. Align with Educational Standards: Emphasize that your approach to teaching climate change adheres to established educational standards and guidelines. Demonstrating this alignment can help parents understand the pedagogical value of the subject matter. 3. Emphasize Reliable Sources: Share with parents the trusted sources and materials you will utilize for teaching climate change. Stress the importance of relying on reputable scientific sources and evidence-based information in the curriculum. Reassure parents that your commitment lies in presenting an accurate and balanced view of the subject. 4. Proactive Engagement: Anticipate potential concerns or objections by considering the possibility of holding parent-teacher meetings or informative sessions dedicated to discussing the content and approach of your climate change curriculum. Furthermore, Windschitl provided a refreshing perspective on the methods we should employ when teaching students about climate change and how we can seamlessly integrate this critical subject into various academic disciplines. His expertise underscores the importance of informed and comprehensive climate change education in our schools today. To delve deeper into Windschitl’s insights and discover strategies for implementing similar approaches in your school, tune in to Episode 251 of the Class Dismissed Podcast, available on your preferred podcast platform or the Apple Podcasts App. Featured Image Photo Credit: https://www.ecolife.zone/ All Rights Reserved.
