Gizmodo consulted NCSE for the Department of Education section of its detailed account of "How Biden Can Ensure Every Federal Agency Is Fighting Climate Change" (December 3, 2020). "Though its name is education, the role of the department in setting the education agenda is fairly limited," the article observed. "Glenn Branch, the deputy director of the National Center for Science Education, said that perhaps the agency's biggest role can be having a secretary who is vocal about climate change's rightful role in the classroom, giving teachers the courage to approach it. At the end of the day, the position is a bullhorn to schools and educators across all levels."
