Lin Andrews, the director of NCSE's Supporting Teachers program, was featured in a recent Education Week story (May 9, 2023) prompted by the release of a report (PDF) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency describing five major health risks for children associated with global warming.
The report offered teachable moments, Andrews suggested, observing, "Things like the health of our children, that is always a huge driver for our parents, and our kids take that information to their parents," and adding, "We've seen time and again that student-driven initiatives are more likely to propel change in parents than anything a teacher will say."
