Global learning and observations to benefit the environment

摘要

In 1994, the first U.S. Global Change Education conference brought together scientists and educators from all over the United States to discuss education regarding global change and to share expertise in launching global change curricula across the country. Kindergarten through junior college students and the general public were identified as highest priority audiences. An Alaska team consisting of science teachers (Sandra Pahlke and Steve Hackett), a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (AFES) scientist (Elena Sparrow), an educator from the Alaska State Department of Education (Terri Campbell), and a community science educator (Janet Blalock) attended the conference. Later, Jennifer Coggins, Peggy Cowan, Marjorie Menzie and Nanci Spear also joined the Alaska Global Change Education team.
