DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion with leaders in the field of climate change 
 education: \n\nMark McCaffrey of the National Center for Science Education, 
 Catherine Halversen of the Lawrence Hall of Science, \nWen Lee of the 
 Alliance for Climate Education, \nMaggie Fleming of EarthTeam. \n\nWe'll 
 explore the many challenges to climate change education in public schools, 
 and how parents, teachers, students, and other concerned citizens can take 
 action.\n\nEach year, thousands of school aged children in the US are 
 taught "both sides of the climate change controversy," with school boards 
 in over a dozen states having passed policies categorizing climate change 
 along with evolution and human cloning as "controversial science." 
 \n\nThere are, however, some bright spots in the fog surrounding climate 
 change education. Take the Alliance for Climate Education, which has 
 reached over one million students around the country through multimedia 
 presentations famous for exciting students so much that they crowd at the 
 front of the room at the presentation's end. Or EarthTeam's peer-to-peer 
 education, student led action projects, and TV show on environmental 
 issues, The Green Screen. \n\nCost:	Free.\nInfo:	510-548-2220 x240, 
 debra@ecologycenter.org.\n 	Wheelchair accessible.\n\n\n
