1636996BlocksteinEnergy/Environment Education is an emerging field and the community of university faculty members and pre-college teachers across many disciplines are teaching about energy and environment in a societal context through a broad range of courses and degree-granting programs in many academic departments. However, these educators are geographically distributed, disconnected and have limited opportunities to come together around the issue of teaching energy. This workshop develops and advances partnerships that focus on transitioning the world to a new constantly improving energy systems.The emerging meta-field of energy education is in its infancy. The workshop will be: 1. A forum for energy educators in K-12, higher education, and informal education to share best practices and develop new partnerships. 2. An opportunity for energy, environmental and STEM educators to gather with leaders from business, industry, government and civil society to raise the profile and expand the effectiveness of energy education. 3. A platform designed to catalyze new initiatives and partnerships in energy education. 4. An arena to address issues at both the classroom level (content, curriculum and pedagogy) and at the programmatic level (degree and sub-degree programs). The workshop will help advance a broadly-defined, interdisciplinary field of energy education that will include elements of science, technology, political economy, history, ethics, environmental, and cultural studies. It will strengthen the energy content and context for STEM education and advance interdisciplinary energy education to inspire a greater diversity of students to consider jobs and careers in the energy sector, an area of need in the US workforce. A broader integration of energy education will expand the relevance and practicality of STEM education and forge critical connections with research on energy literacy and catalyze the convergence between STEM education, environmental education, and education for sustainability.

1636996Blockstein能源/环境教育是一个新兴领域，许多学科的大学教职人员和大学预科教师社区正在通过许多学术部门的广泛课程和学位授予项目在社会背景下教授能源和环境知识。然而，这些教育工作者地理位置分散、互不联系，并且围绕教学精力问题聚集在一起的机会有限。该研讨会发展和推进合作伙伴关系，重点关注将世界转变为不断改进的新能源系统。新兴的能源教育元领域正处于起步阶段。该研讨会将： 1. 为 K-12、高等教育和非正式教育领域的能源教育工作者举办论坛，分享最佳实践并发展新的伙伴关系。 2. 为能源、环境和 STEM 教育工作者提供与商界、工业界、政府和民间社会领袖齐聚一堂的机会，以提高能源教育的知名度并扩大能源教育的有效性。 3. 旨在促进能源教育领域新举措和伙伴关系的平台。 4. 一个解决课堂层面（内容、课程和教学法）和课程层面（学位和副学位课程）问题的舞台。该研讨会将有助于推进能源教育的广泛定义的跨学科领域，其中包括科学、技术、政治经济学、历史、伦理、环境和文化研究的要素。它将加强 STEM 教育的能源内容和背景，并推进跨学科能源教育，以激励更多元化的学生考虑能源行业的工作和职业，这是美国劳动力需求的领域。能源教育的更广泛整合将扩大 STEM 教育的相关性和实用性，并与能源素养研究建立重要联系，并促进 STEM 教育、环境教育和可持续发展教育之间的融合。
