Principal Investigator: BlocksteinProposal No: 1505341Nontechnical DescriptionThe Council of Energy Research and Education Leaders (CEREL) of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) will hold the inaugural National Energy Education Summit on January 26, 2015 in Washington, DC. This conference award will provide partial support for this Summit. The Summit will be an opportunity for energy, environmental, and STEM educators in K-12, higher education, and informal education to gather with leaders from the private sector, government, and civil society to share best practices and develop new partnerships in order to expand the scale, impact and effectiveness of energy education. The Summit will engage energy educators at all levels to build, improve and expand energy education to serve the needs of students and citizens. The Summit will promote teaching, learning and training to help to build an interdisciplinary field of energy education. Sessions will specifically deal with improved teaching and learning as well as development of programs such as majors, minors, and certificates that facilitate teaching and learning. Furthermore, the Summit will provide financial support for presenters from under-represented populations, and will have at least one session focused on engagement of under-represented populations. Technical DescriptionThe Council of Energy Research and Education Leaders (CEREL) of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) will hold the inaugural National Energy Education Summit on January 26, 2015 in Washington, DC. This conference award will provide partial support for this Summit. The Summit will be an opportunity for energy, environmental and STEM educators in K-12, higher education, and informal education to gather with leaders from business and industry, government, and civil society to share best practices and develop new partnerships in order to expand the scale, impact and effectiveness of energy education. Education and workforce training for the energy infrastructure that powers national and regional economies traditionally relies on science and engineering fields. However, education on energy topics should also embrace political economy, history, ethics, environmental, and cultural studies, as well as science and engineering. Towards this end, the broadly-defined, interdisciplinary field of energy studies is advancing rapidly. The National Energy Education Summit seeks to further define the principles of energy literacy need to operationalize the field of energy studies. In this context, the overall goal of the Summit is to expand the scale, impact and effectiveness of energy education through energy studies. The Summit will engage energy educators at all levels to build, improve and expand energy education to serve the needs of students and citizens. The agenda will include issues at both the classroom level (content, curriculum and pedagogy) and at the programmatic level (degree and sub-degree programs).The Summit will promote teaching, learning and training to help to build an interdisciplinary field of energy education. Many of the sessions will specifically deal with improved teaching and learning. Other sessions will explore programs such as majors, minors, and certificates that facilitate teaching and learning. Furthermore, the Summit will provide financial support for presenters from under-represented populations, and will have at least one session focused on engagement of under-represented populations.

国家科学与环境委员会（NCSE）下属的能源研究与教育领袖委员会（CEREL）将于2015年1月26日在华盛顿特区举行首届国家能源教育峰会。这项会议奖将为本次首脑会议提供部分支持。峰会将为K-12、高等教育和非正式教育领域的能源、环境和STEM教育工作者提供一个机会，与私营部门、政府和民间社会的领导人齐聚一堂，分享最佳实践，发展新的伙伴关系，以扩大能源教育的规模、影响和有效性。峰会将让各级能源教育工作者参与建设、改善和扩大能源教育，以满足学生和公民的需求。首脑会议将促进教学、学习和培训，以帮助建立一个跨学科的能源教育领域。会议将专门讨论如何改进教与学，以及如何开发促进教与学的专业、辅修课程和证书等项目。此外，首脑会议将为代表人数不足的人口的发言者提供财政支助，并将至少举行一次会议，重点讨论代表人数不足的人口的参与问题。美国国家科学与环境委员会（NCSE）下属的能源研究与教育领袖委员会（CEREL）将于2015年1月26日在华盛顿特区举行首届国家能源教育峰会。这项会议奖将为本次首脑会议提供部分支持。峰会将为K-12、高等教育和非正式教育领域的能源、环境和STEM教育工作者提供一个机会，与来自工商业、政府和民间社会的领导人聚会，分享最佳实践，发展新的伙伴关系，以扩大能源教育的规模、影响和有效性。为国家和地区经济提供动力的能源基础设施的教育和劳动力培训传统上依赖于科学和工程领域。然而，关于能源主题的教育也应该包括政治经济、历史、伦理、环境和文化研究，以及科学和工程。为此，定义广泛的、跨学科的能源研究领域正在迅速发展。全国能源教育首脑会议旨在进一步确定能源研究领域运作所需的能源知识的原则。在这方面，首脑会议的总目标是通过能源研究扩大能源教育的规模、影响和效力。峰会将让各级能源教育工作者参与建设、改善和扩大能源教育，以满足学生和公民的需求。议程将包括课堂层面（内容、课程和教学法）和项目层面（学位和副学位课程）的问题。首脑会议将促进教学、学习和培训，以帮助建立一个跨学科的能源教育领域。许多会议将专门讨论如何改进教与学。其他会议将探讨促进教学和学习的专业、辅修和证书等项目。此外，首脑会议将为代表人数不足的人口的发言者提供财政支助，并将至少举行一次会议，重点讨论代表人数不足的人口的参与问题。
