Climate change teacher conference NV700
The STEM Learning Climate Change Teacher Conference (CCTC) is a new, live streamed event for Primary and Secondary educators.
Summary
The STEM Learning Climate Change Teacher Conference (CCTC) is a new, live-streamed event for Primary and Secondary educators. Organised by STEM Learning and supported by the Climate Change Educational Partnership, the conference aims to support the teaching of STEM subjects and enrichment activities using climate change as a context.
Registration will allow you access to the whole conference and join in all four days. You can then simply choose to Zoom into individual days with their own Twilight Talks and themes that interest you.
Four themes over four twilights:
What is climate change, what's causing it and evidence of climate change - 24 May, 16:00 - 18:00
Climate change models and predictions - 25 May, 16:00 - 18:00
Adapting and mitigating for climate change - 26 May, 16:00 - 18:00
Making a difference: What can we do as individuals and what projects can students get involved in - 27 May, 16:00 - 18:00
Daily Twilights will feature sessions on the theme of the day of 45 minutes each. They consist of:
- Twilight Talks - live streamed presentations by leading experts on the theme of the day, sharing their knowledge, unveiling cutting-edge research and their hope of what can be achieved for the future, followed by live Q&A.
- Twilight Forums - daily formats may differ slightly depending on content but will include a mixture of webinars covering educational research, case study sessions, panel discussions and activities and resources available on the theme of the day. The conversation will carry on in the STEM Community where educators can discuss best practice in the delivery of climate change topics in STEM teaching.
Outcomes
Over the course of the four days’ of twilight sessions you will be able to:
- Understand the mechanisms behind climate change and how scientists can monitor its causes and effects
- Describe how we use complex models to predict the level of global warming and its effects
- Explore ways that individuals, communities, industry and governments can make changes to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change
- Interact with other educators via our STEM Community to discuss ways that you will take your learning back to the classroom
