School of Natural Resources Management (University of Alaska Fairbanks):Organization Type: University/College Category: Educator Support and Professional Development Frances Bedel Administrative Assistant fnfdb@uaf.edu http://www.uaf.edu/olcg P.O. Box 757200 Fairbanks, AK 99775 Global Change Education Using Western Science and Native Knowledge: In communities around Alaska you hear comments like: The weather is strange and unpredictable; Permafrost is melting; or Sea ice patterns are changing. These comments reflect Alaskans' observations and concerns about the effects of climate change on their communities and lives. Our project seeks to engage and support teachers, students and community members as they investigate just such climate change issues. We do so by providing an intensive summer institute for educators followed by ongoing support throughout the year. These efforts include attention to integrating Native knowledge and western science; best practices in science and math education; and the international GLOBE curriculum. We believe that this approach will enhance the cultural well being and the science and math abilities of students.
