Workshop on Atmospheric Science and Climate Literacy

项目资金正在用于召开一次大气科学和气候素养讲习班，以便制定一个共识框架，以提高我国的大气科学和气候素养。大约60名教师、科学家、非正式教育工作者和决策者被邀请参加将于11月下旬在大学大气研究公司（UCAR）举行的研讨会。研讨会议程的设计得到了一个组织委员会的协助，该组织委员会由代表大学、公共机构和专业协会的大气和气候科学家组成，他们是向学生和公众传达准确、前沿的大气和气候研究成果的利益相关者。讲习班将以已经完成的基础工作为基础，为K-12学生制定科学内容标准、基准和概念图，这些标准、基准和概念图将基本原则与大气和气候科学领域联系起来。参与者还将借鉴最近在定义海洋和气候科学的科学素养方面的合作成果，对其进行修订和扩展，以包含并简明地呈现大气和气候科学的学生和公众科学素养框架。研讨会产生的框架将为美国人准备在一个充满活力和变化的世界中生活并积极作出贡献提供重要的下一步。它将对课程专家、科学中心和博物馆、州和联邦机构以及各级教育工作者有用，他们为目标受众开发资源和项目，提高科学知识和理解。其预期结果是提高人口的整体科学素养，并激励和教育为大气和气候科学研究做好准备的新一代科学家。

Project funds are being used to convene a Workshop on Atmospheric Science and Climate Literacy in order to develop a consensus framework for enhancing atmospheric science and climate literacy in our nation. Approximately 60 teachers, scientists, informal educators, and policy makers are being invited to attend the workshop, which will be held in late November at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). The workshop agenda is being designed with assistance from an Organizing Committee composed of atmospheric and climate scientists representing universities, public agencies, and professional societies that are stakeholders in conveying accurate, cutting edge atmospheric and climate research outcomes to students and the public. The workshop will build on the foundational efforts already completed in developing science content standards, benchmarks, and concept maps that relate basic principles to the fields of atmospheric and climate sciences for K-12 audiences. Participants will also draw from results of recent collaborations in defining science literacy for the ocean and climate sciences, revising and expanding them to encompass and concisely present a framework for student and public science literacy in the atmospheric and climate sciences. The framework emerging from the workshop will provide an important next step in preparing Americans to live in and positively contribute to a dynamic and changing world. It will be useful to curriculum specialists, science centers and museums, state and federal agencies, and educators at all levels who develop resources and programs that enhance scientific knowledge and understanding for their target audiences. The intended outcome is to enhance the overall scientific literacy of the populous, as well as to inspire and educate a new generation of scientists who are prepared for research in the atmospheric and climate sciences.
