Workshop: Second National Energy Education Summit: Building a Community for Interdisciplinary Teaching About Energy for a Sustainable Future

16369996 blockstein能源/环境教育是一个新兴领域，许多学科的大学教职员工和大学预科教师社区正在通过许多学术部门的广泛课程和学位授予项目，在社会背景下教授能源和环境。然而，这些教育工作者在地理上分散，互不联系，围绕教学能量问题走到一起的机会有限。本次研讨会旨在发展和推进合作伙伴关系，重点是将世界转变为一个不断改进的新能源系统。新兴的能源教育元领域还处于起步阶段。研讨会将是：1；为K-12、高等教育和非正式教育领域的能源教育工作者提供的论坛，以分享最佳实践并发展新的伙伴关系。2. 能源、环境和STEM教育工作者有机会与来自商业、工业、政府和民间社会的领导人聚集在一起，提高能源教育的知名度，扩大能源教育的有效性。3. 一个旨在促进能源教育新倡议和伙伴关系的平台。4. 一个在课堂层面（内容、课程和教学法）和项目层面（学位和副学位课程）解决问题的舞台。讲习班将有助于推动一个定义广泛的、跨学科的能源教育领域，该领域将包括科学、技术、政治经济、历史、伦理、环境和文化研究等要素。它将加强STEM教育的能源内容和背景，并推进跨学科能源教育，以激励更多的学生考虑在能源领域就业和职业，这是美国劳动力的一个需求领域。能源教育的更广泛整合将扩大STEM教育的相关性和实用性，并与能源素养研究建立关键联系，促进STEM教育、环境教育和可持续发展教育之间的融合。

1636996BlocksteinEnergy/Environment Education is an emerging field and the community of university faculty members and pre-college teachers across many disciplines are teaching about energy and environment in a societal context through a broad range of courses and degree-granting programs in many academic departments. However, these educators are geographically distributed, disconnected and have limited opportunities to come together around the issue of teaching energy. This workshop develops and advances partnerships that focus on transitioning the world to a new constantly improving energy systems.The emerging meta-field of energy education is in its infancy. The workshop will be: 1. A forum for energy educators in K-12, higher education, and informal education to share best practices and develop new partnerships. 2. An opportunity for energy, environmental and STEM educators to gather with leaders from business, industry, government and civil society to raise the profile and expand the effectiveness of energy education. 3. A platform designed to catalyze new initiatives and partnerships in energy education. 4. An arena to address issues at both the classroom level (content, curriculum and pedagogy) and at the programmatic level (degree and sub-degree programs). The workshop will help advance a broadly-defined, interdisciplinary field of energy education that will include elements of science, technology, political economy, history, ethics, environmental, and cultural studies. It will strengthen the energy content and context for STEM education and advance interdisciplinary energy education to inspire a greater diversity of students to consider jobs and careers in the energy sector, an area of need in the US workforce. A broader integration of energy education will expand the relevance and practicality of STEM education and forge critical connections with research on energy literacy and catalyze the convergence between STEM education, environmental education, and education for sustainability.
