Here's a link<\/a> to another of the thoughts from Morgan Phillips about his time with NAAEE in Madison. \u00a0This is how it begins:<\/p>\n

\"The NAAEE Annual Conference is in its 45th year, fourteen years ago conference decided it needed to create exclusive time and space to explore environmental education research. The\u00a0Research Symposium\u00a0was born, it is now in its 13th year. \u00a0It is a packed programme.\u00a0Around 150 researchers from right across North America and around the world were here today. \u00a0Bearing in mind that researchers deliberating about how they research is pretty niche, I'm not going to dwell on those discussions too much here. \u00a0I am instead going to highlight two pieces of innovative practice that I came across.<\/p>\n

Climate Change and Me - Southern Cross University Australia<\/em><\/p>\n

Empowering learners as educators and 'the researched' as researchers was discussed several times today.\u00a0Climate Change and Me\u00a0is a good example of this. This is how the project runs:<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s children and young people require new kinds of knowledge, skills and experience in order to effectively respond to rapidly accelerating social and environmental changes. \u00a0The Climate Change and Me Stage 2\/3 curriculum addresses this pressing need for a research-based and student-driven climate change curriculum in Australian primary schools. \u00a0As it stands, climate change has been cut from the Australian National Curriculum for children under 14 years of age. \u00a0International studies have also indicated that didactic, science-based approaches to climate change education have not been effective in changing the environmental attitudes and behaviours of students. \u00a0The Climate Change and Me research found that students were much more likely to engage with the topic of climate change through creative, student-driven and experiential project-based learning activities which were structured into a collective inquiry. \u00a0The Climate Change and Me Curriculum,\u00a0Southern Cross University.
\nThis is an example of what seems to be a growing trend in Education\u00a0for\u00a0the Environment - a science based approach to climate change education (and sustainability education more broadly) is giving way to approaches that recognise the need and effectiveness of engaging learners on an emotional level. \u00a0...\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
