ENERGY SCIENCE: Teaching Energy Literacy to Adults
This professional development opportunity combines a self-paced course with an opening webinar, ongoing discussion, and development of an energy literacy lesson or unit for your students. The core content comes from a new resource in the Literacy Information and Communication (LINCS,

The self-paced course and resource explain the concept of energy literacy, and introduces the Energy Literacy Framework developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. The course introduces educators to the Framework through videos and a wide variety of teaching resources. As we move through the course, we will share our reflections, suggestions, and science teaching resources through a dedicated discussion strand in the LINCS Community of Practice.
