Time: 10:30am

"Improving educators’ capacity to teach about the Great Lakes"
This short presentation will consist of an overview of a web-based 
resource I created to help teachers identify curricula they can use to 
teach about the Great Lakes and related issues 
http://www.great-lakes.net/teach/teachers/). I will briefly describe the 
various features of the site, how it was developed, and present select 
evaluation results. Teachers often ask natural scientists to assist them 
in their efforts to teach about environmental issues such as those 
confronting the Great Lakes. This site is one scientists can refer them 
to for relevant teaching resources.

"Communicating for Sustainability: Insights from Psychology"
Most of us who care deeply about certain issues want to foster changes 
in the behavior of others. For example, those of us concerned about 
climate change want individuals to adopt behaviors that reduce C02 
emissions. This presentation will attempt to correct misperceptions many 
individuals have about how to best foster behavior change and offer 
alternative suggestions.
