Emily Hart: Teacher-Research in the Climate Change Classroom, One Teacher's Story
Bio: Emily Hart studied biology at Smith College and has an M.S. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Environmental Conservation. For the past five years, she has been teaching biology and environmental science at an independent high school in the Boston area. Emily's favorite topic to teach is climate change and she is also a climate activist outside of the classroom.
Abstract: In this presentation, I will share my experience as a teacher-researcher in my high school environmental science class. During the 2017-2018 school year I developed and conducted a qualitative project to explore questions about my climate change teaching, especially around how I integrate emotions, justice and politics into my evidence-based science curriculum. This presentation shares student responses to learning about climate change in my class as well as the need that I observed for differentiation and civic education.
