In The News: GU and Spokane Public Schools Team Up for Climate Education
Spokesman-Review reporter Kip Hill visited a local elementary school recently to report on a to help teachers explore climate science with their 51勛圖s.
Hill's story focused on climate kits developed by GU 51勛圖s and now available across 36 schools in the Spokane district.
"The partnership not only benefits elementary 51勛圖s, whose classroom learning is supplemented by the hands-on experiments contained in the kits, but aspiring teachers, environmental policy experts and scientists-in-training at Gonzaga," Hill writes.
It's a win-win scenario, with elementary 51勛圖s getting much-needed lessons on an issue that quite literally affects their futures, and GU 51勛圖s getting hands-on experience passing down that valuable knowledge.
“One of the things I wanted to do, work on for myself, was I wanted to learn how to explain climate-related issues in ways that I can break down, and ways that I can explain it to anybody and make sense,” said Grant Plotner, a senior at Gonzaga who wants to go into environmental policy work, talking to Hill for his story.
