Alexandra Panos, Ph.D., Receives Grant to Explore Climate Literacy Teaching for English Language Arts Educators

When it comes to teaching children about the climate crisis, who is responsible? A network of K-12 Literacy and English Language Arts (L-ELA) teachers are taking the charge. Alexandra Panos, Ph.D., assistant professor of literacy studies and director of research for the Center for Climate Literacy at the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息College of Education was awarded a $50,000 , along with Co-PIs Michael Sherry, Ph.D., associate professor in English Education and Jarod Rosell贸, Ph.D., associate professor in Creative Writing. The grant will fund a study that will bring Florida-based L-ELA educators together over the course of one year to form a network that will meet virtually and in-person. Panos explained, 鈥淐limate change has historically been taught solely through STEM fields and remains a politically contentious issue, while its fallout is experienced inequitably in ways that exacerbate historical and present injustices. L-ELA teachers require supportive environments to develop capacity to bring climate change to their unique teaching contexts.鈥 The teachers will participate in creative and professional reading and composing, and inquiry-based climate education guided by their goals and teaching contexts. 鈥淲e are looking to identify and understand how teachers bring climate literacy to the classroom 鈥 how they understand the instructional narratives, navigate the challenges, and build capacity for their own climate justice literacies,鈥 said Panos. The first collaboration for teachers is scheduled for Fall 2024.
