Brad Hoge - Climate Unit: Turning Misinformation into Educational Opportunities
Abstract: Turning Misinformation into Educational Opportunities (TMEO) is a multi-faceted program aimed at helping teachers use misconceptions to inoculate students against misinformation about climate change. Part of TMEO is a new unit of climate change lessons developed using a misconception-based approach and evidence-based pedagogy. The lessons were created at a workshop with NCSE Ambassador Teachers. Workshop facilitators included John Cook, Frank Niepold, and Brad Hoge, Director of Teacher Support at the National Center for Science Education (NCSE). The five lesson unit is built around misconceptions specifically identified in the Heartland Institute's mailing utilizing a unique inquiry strategy to inoculate students to misconceptions.
