What does Climate education look like in California schools these days? Bluntly, there are no climate education mandates for For K-12 or for general education at public university.
For most students environmental education doesn't become accessible until you get to college and really only if that's your chosen major.
Enter California Assembly Bill 1939, which aims to address this deficiency in our education system. First introduced in 2022, AB 1939 would add a science requirement to California K-12 schools addressing the causes and effects of Climate Change and offer methods to mitigate and adapt. As of the time of this recording the Bill was sent by the senate to the Committee on Education where it has sat since June 15th, 2022
Today, Elli is Joined by Sage Lenier, creator of the UC Berkley course Solutions for a Sustainable and Just Future, and former Instructor of the same UC Berkeley course Anu Thirunarayanan to discuss Climate literacy, what accessible and equitable environmental education should look like, and the power of peer-to-peer/youth-led education.

Whenever you're ready. Hello everyone, and welcome to our next episode of Policy-Wise. I am really thrilled today to be joined by Cindy Loff, the director of the National Childcare Association. Today, we'll be talking a little bit about the state of childcare in the United States, learning what the current status is of childcare, what are some of the efforts being made, and what are some of the problems that we might be able to tackle as young folks, uh, just starting to address some of these issues and seeing these issues all around us. Now, before we jump in too much about Cindy and learning more about her, Cindy, I was wondering if you could come on and give us a little bit of a background about the National Childcare Association, uh, what it does and how it fits into policy within the United States?
