Name
Educating for Sustainable Development: Teachers' Perspectives
Description
The Smithsonian Science Education Center and Gallup conducted a study of U.S. K-12 teachers and school administrators, and teachers of students in comparable grade levels in Brazil, Canada, France and India, to gauge attitudes toward, and demand for, education and resources related to sustainable development. In this session you will learn about the major findings of this global survey and will receive free resources from the Smithsonian, NOAA and the Afterschool Alliance to help educate students--both in school and afterschool--on sustainable development topics, including clean energy, biodiversity, climate action, and biotechnology. Let's all think globally but act locally!
