Making Climate Justice Count: Teaching with Data Stories for Action($35.00Value)

Description

This book is a compelling vision for reimagining climate change education through the intertwined practices of data storytelling and justice-centered learning. In Making Climate Justice Count , Asli Sezen-Barrie, Mary K. Stapleton, and Hosun Kang address a central problem in climate change education: the disconnect between data-driven science instruction and students’ lived, cultural, and emotional understandings of climate impacts. By reading this book, you will learn how to: Engage with climate change data - Use storytelling to humanize research - Advance transformative, justice-oriented climate education in schools    Arguing that climate change education must be rooted in both data and in the lived stories of communities most affected by environmental change, the authors provide evidence-based pedagogical strategies that educators can utilize to create innovative, effective, and engaging lessons.  “Authors offer a compelling vision for climate change education grounded in data, justice, and advocacy. Classroom examples show how teachers and students connect data and stories to make sense of and act to address climate challenges. This is a powerful resource for educators working toward a more hopeful, sustainable future.”― Julie Bianchini , professor, University of California, Santa Barbara Asli Sezen-Barrie is the Stacey Nicholas Endowed Chair Professor of Environmental and Climate Change Education in the School of Education at University of California, Irvine.
