Climate, Adaptation, and Mitigation eLearning Community David Blockstein, Ph.D., Senior Scientist Executive Secretary Council of Environmental Deans and Directors Council of Energy Research and Education Leaders www.NCSEonline.org I. Introduction to NCSE Mission: to improve the scientific basis of environmental decisionmaking. Five Strategies: • Education and Careers - People • Science Solutions - Problems • Science Policy - Policies • National Conference - Pathways • Encyclopedia of the Earth - Public Education and Careers Goal: increase the number and quality of trained individuals to address complex environmental challenges. Partners – Universities and colleges – High schools – Employers – Government agencies Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD) Top Environmental Leaders at Affiliate Universities Curriculum, including Climate Solutions Curriculum Careers, including Environmental Alumni Career Study and Campus to Careers Program Program Administration Interdisciplinary Hiring, Tenure and Promotion CAMEL Climate, Adaptation, and Mitigation eLearning Community Nationwide (and beyond) community Educators, researchers, students Undergraduate materials—all levels and fields Climate change causes, consequences and solutions Origins of CAMEL 8th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment - Climate Change: Science and Solutions – January 2008 CEDD committee 2008 CEDD workshop July 2008 Concept pre-proposal September 2008 Five Components Content Faculty development Community development Cyberinfrastructure Evaluation Content Arnold Bloom, UC Davis (lead) Gary Braasch, GHG Photos David Hassenzahl, U. of Nevada - Las Vegas Neil Leary, Dickinson College Mark McCaffrey, U. of Colorado - Boulder Stephanie Pfirman, Barnard College/Columbia U. Nicky Phear, U. of Montana Josh Wolfe, GHG photos CEDD Content To provide undergraduates with information to become knowledgeable about climate change causes, consequences, and solutions. Becoming knowledgeable extends from being conversant in a common terminology to using the information directly in practical applications. Content Working framework of curriculum foci develop a collection of vetted materials for undergraduate courses Syllabi, case studies, lectures, projects, websites Refereed journal / Encyclopedia of Earth hybrid Bloom as editor Topic area editors Reviewers Developers Faculty Development Jean MacGregor, Evergreen State College Steve Ehrmann, TLT Group Stephanie Pfirman, Barnard College/Columbia U. Karl Smith, Purdue U. CEDD Faculty Development To provide guidance, training, and opportunities for collaboration and communication to faculty members who develop materials Faculty Development Provide support for faculty as they are building climate change into their curricula Some in-person work Apply lessons from in-person experience and literature to on-line environments Community Development Stephanie Pfirman (lead), Barnard College/Columbia U. Barry Benedict, U. of Texas - El Paso David Blockstein, NCSE David Hassenzahl, U. of Nevada - Las Vegas Clay Shirky, NYU/technology consultant CEDD Community Development To build a self-sustaining community of educators that advances the teaching of climate change causes, consequences, and solutions Community Development Opportunities Motivations for participation Norms, standards, and expectations National Communities Topical Communities Regional communities Western Washington, Hudson River Valley, Rio Grande / border, NV/ID/NM, Boston?
