Social Studies Standards and Climate Change Education

The presentation and discussion will touch on the following topics:

  • How social studies standards are currently created (50 different sets, national standards by professional organizations, some movement to uniform standards with C3 document, but nothing like natural sciences)
  • What is considered "social studies" at k-12? (types of courses etc)
  • Of the various standards listed above, to what extent do they actually include climate change concepts?
  • In theory, in which types of courses/grades might social studies cover climate change?
  • In practice, which types of social studies courses/grades do cover climate change?
  • How might the regional data from NCA be useful for formal and non-formal social studies educators?
  • Where do we see social studies going in the future in terms of climate change?
