Integrating Energy, Earth and Environmental Education

As the world grapples with climate change, educators have an increased responsibility to help their students learn about energy, energy systems, and the energy economy. However, many educators lack expertise about energy. Geoscientists and Earth system scientists may be well positioned to bridge between technical aspects of energy and the environmental consequences of various types of energy use.
This webinar introduces Energy, Earth and Environmental Education (E4) - an emerging approach informs about energy solutions to climate change. Join fellow Energy, Earth and Environmental Educators (E4) to share best practices and learn new techniques. It is a precursor to an E4 community building workshop sponsored by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) on June 26 and a discussion symposium on graduate education in energy on June 27 at the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) conference at the University of Central Florida from June 26-29, 2019.
David Blockstein, Senior Adviser, Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences will introduce E4 and present opportunities to learn more about E4. Teresa Sabol Spezio, Visiting Assistant Professor, Pitzer College will discuss pedagogy involved applying the complexity of energy systems so students have a way to compare and evaluate energy sources. Cornelia Colijn, Executive Director, Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania will discuss creation of graduate programs in energy.
