Collaborative Research: Climate Literacy & Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) Pathway

目前正在为NSDL开发气候扫盲和能源意识网络（CLEAN）途径。 主要观众是从中学生到大学毕业生的广泛人群。 CLEAN合作项目的目标是汇集大约500种权威性的、科学合理的资源，使教师、学生和普通公民能够提高他们对气候及其对社会影响的认识，并使他们能够就能源使用和地球的管理作出更明智的决定。 CLEAN途径利用科学素养地图（链地图）来帮助用户找到所需的资源，并说明概念之间的联系以及概念如何相互建立。 这些资源与AAAS项目2061科学素养基准，国家科学教育标准和NAAEE环境教育卓越学习指南保持一致。 在线研讨会正在帮助教师和公民学习使用这些资源。 一个利用Web 2.0社交网络工具促进教育工作者、专家和爱好者之间的协作、互动和知识共享的在线社区正在得到促进。该项目正在接受“亲爱的同事信：气候变化教育”的共同资助，以支持NSDL与气候科学直接相关的工作的发展。

The Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) pathway for NSDL is being developed. The primary audience is a broad one ranging from middle school students to college graduates. The goal of the CLEAN collaborative project is the assembly of a collection of approximately 500 authoritative, scientifically sound resources so that teachers, their students and the general citizenry may improve their knowledge of climate and its impact on society and enable them to make better informed decisions about energy use and stewardship of planet earth. The CLEAN pathway utilizes science literacy maps (strand maps) to aid users in finding needed resources and illustrate connections between concepts and how concepts build on one another. The resources are aligned with the AAAS Project 2061 Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy, the National Science Education Standards and, the NAAEE Excellence in Environmental education Guidelines for Learning. Teleconference-online workshops are helping teachers and citizens learn to use the resources. An online community using Web 2.0 social networking tools to promote collaboration, interactivity and knowledge sharing among educators, experts and enthusiasts is being facilitated.This project is receiving co-funding under the Dear Colleague Letter: Climate Change Education to support the development of NSDL efforts directly related to climate science.
