September 19th - Entrance Slip
When I begin a reading, I have a tendency to jump right into the reading to hear what the author has to say. However, the title of this reading and the prelude on the blog had be pause to reflect what I could do as a mathematics educator to promote sustainability in my classroom. Entering the reading with this in mind, I was much more open-minded and receptive to what the author had to say. What I found especially insightful was the Table he provided to outline the different types of sustainability.
As research into climate change is predominantly scientific and statisticaly, I belive that as STEM educators, we have the responsibility to teach our students scientific literacy to ensure they understand the information. Moreover, I feel we should provide them with resources to enrich their development in being proactive in a lifestyle of sustainability.
1) Two things that surprised you or made you stop.
2) Your own thoughts about what we can or should do as math and science teachers in the situation of the present climate crisis and mass extinction. How to address the situation, students’ and adults’ knowledge and emotions, and effective action (as much as possible)?
