This is the third webinar to discuss the conclusions of the first National Energy Education Summit, www.EnergyEducationSummit.org. The webinars will be held the first Monday of the month at 3 p.m. Eastern time. Slides and video of previous webinars are available at www.EnergyEducationSummit.org
The Summit report, also available at www.EnergyEducationSummit.org, presents a vision for energy education in the US. The vision encompasses energy literacy of citizens and students from K-12 to undergraduate, graduate and professional education.
The Summit developed ideas and partnerships for advancing energy education in K-12 programs, promoting a culture of energy efficiency, and through development of degrees, minors, certificates and concentrations. It explored connections between energy and climate, between campus and community, between energy and sustainability and between people of color and the nexus among food, energy and water. It discussed best practices in teaching and how to provide energy education to future professionals in fields such as bioenergy.
CEREL and NCSE invite all energy educators to join them for the Second National Energy Education Summit on June 7, 2016 in Washington DC. The Summit will be held together with the annual conference of the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) http://aess.info at American University.
The inaugural Summit was sponsored by
- The US Department of Energy,
- National Science Foundation,
