Teachers Domain: Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change in the Pacific Region

WGBH教育基金会正在与太平洋教育和学习资源（PREL）和新的太平洋岛屿气候变化教育伙伴关系（PCEP）合作，制作一个专门建造的媒体资源数字图书馆，展示土著对气候变化的看法以及对整个太平洋岛屿地区（USAPI）生态系统的相关威胁。根据WGBH的“阿拉斯加原住民参与地球科学项目”（oedg支持的2轨倡议）的研究结果，这个新的1轨项目将阿拉斯加原住民开发的生产策略应用于面临一系列相关环境挑战的广大地理区域。与PCEP的联系使这些资源能够向该地区多个司法管辖区的教师、学生和其他教育工作者进行知情、协调的传播。解决诸如海平面上升、海岸侵蚀、珊瑚礁白化、海洋酸化和淡水资源污染等气候变化引起的影响，在伙伴组织和由科学家和教育工作者组成的咨询委员会的投入下确定了专题重点。特别注意的是土著对这些影响的看法，并提出传统知识和价值体系作为对西方科学分析的补充。我们的目标不仅是向公众提供信息，更要鼓励当地的学生和教师积极参与缓解气候变化的影响，并考虑在相关领域深造和就业，因为这些挑战对他们的生活有着直接和直接的影响。可交付成果包括由USAPI（包括夏威夷、美属萨摩亚、密克罗尼西亚群岛和马里亚纳群岛）的土著人民制作的、与土著人民一起制作的和/或关于土著人民的媒体资源的集合，每个媒体资源都有充分的背景，以便在PBS LearningMedia平台上展示，该平台是WGBH的教师领域网站的后续网站，该网站在早期的阿拉斯加项目中用于传播。

The WGBH Educational Foundation is collaborating with Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) and the new Pacific Islands Climate Change Education Partnership (PCEP) to produce a digital library collection of purpose-built media resources presenting indigenous perspectives on climate change and related threats to the eco-system throughout the Pacific Island region (USAPI). Building upon findings from WGBH's Engaging Alaska Natives in the Geosciences project, an OEDG-supported Track 2 initiative, this new Track 1 project applies production strategies developed with indigenous populations in Alaska to a vast geographic region facing a related set of environmental challenges. The affiliation with PCEP enables informed, coordinated dissemination of these resources to teachers, students, and other educators throughout the region's multiple jurisdictions. Addressing such climate change-induced effects as sea-level rise, coastal erosion, coral reef bleaching, ocean acidification, and contamination of freshwater resources, topical foci is determined with the input of partner organizations and an Advisory Board of scientists and educators. Particular attention is being paid to indigenous perspectives on these impacts and presenting traditional knowledge and value systems as complements to the analyses of Western science. The goal is not only to inform the general public, but also to inspire local students and teachers to engage actively in mitigating the effects of climate change and to consider advanced study and possible careers in related fields, as these challenges have such direct and immediate impact on their lives. Deliverables include a collection of media resources produced by, with, and/or about indigenous peoples across the USAPI (including Hawaii, American Samoa, the Micronesian archipelago and the Mariana Islands), each fully contextualized for presentation on the PBS LearningMedia platform, the successor to WGBH's Teachers' Domain web site used for dissemination in the earlier Alaska project.
