NGSS and Climate Literacy
A Discussion by the CLEAN Network
How did climate change get
incorporated into the Framework?
Initial drafts drew heavily on the 4 literacy
documents – climate appears in all of them
Ocean, Climate, Atmospheric Science, Earth Science
In Earth Science – Climate is used as the ultimate
example of Earth systems
During construction – emphasis on what was
most important
Climate change and anthropogenic forcings on
climate at top of list
Additional justification from large number of NRC
documents expounding on importance of climate
change
How did climate change get
incorporated into the NGSS?
In writing the standards large emphasis placed on
Human-related content
Incorporating aspects of engineering
Climate is a great vehicle for both of these
Once clear that there would be an emphasis on
Earth system science at the high school level
– Climate change perfect capstone topic as it integrates
everything
– In emphasizing an Earth system science approach – no
better choice than climate change
Framework and NGSS
3 Integrated Dimensions
Science and Engineering Practices
Crosscutting Concepts
Core Disciplinary Ideas
– Physical Sciences
– Life Sciences
– Earth & Space Sciences
– Engineering, Technology, and Applications of
Science
Interdisciplinarity & Transferability
Learning progressions described in Framework – climate
is imbedded from K-12 in all domains of science – not
just specific domains
Text
S&EP and CC not only cut across all of the Core
Disciplinary Ideas they are also relevant in many other
disciplines – outside the sciences
The skills students gain by having their curriculum
address the S&EP and CC are transferable to many
other careers
