How does this generation perceive climate change? How do they imagine their own future given that perception? How does education in climate change alter those perceptions? What are we doing together as students, parents and teachers to understand the role we play in Climate change and be the part of solution?

Two Thoughts of the Week

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

– Dr. Jane Goodall

“The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change.”

— Greta Thunberg

One Video of the Week

Mr. Isaac is a lifelong educator. His life path has taken him on a wild ride from working as a sailing instructor to banker; to “working” as a stay at home dad, firefighter, and EMT to finally finding and fulfilling his passion in high school science education. Strident about the education of young minds, project-based learning, and earth and space sciences, Mr. Isaac strives to get young minds to open to the amazing world around them: “Get your head out of your phone,” he admonishes them. Mr. Isaac, the oldest faculty member at South Fayette High School, has been teaching for only seven years. He enjoys the responsibility and latitude of being the old guy that never follows the rules.

Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth (2006) was the vehicle that pushed climate change into the forefront of national consciousness. The current generation of high school and college-aged young adults is the first that has grown up with an awareness of climate change and its potential consequences. This talk examines the perception of climate change, its potential consequences on the future of high school students (age 16-18) before and after being educated on the evidence, and mitigation strategies of climate change.
