As part of the ACESSE research-practice partnership I have become an affiliate member of the Council of State Science Supervisors. In this role I am the research collaborator to several committees including both the Access and Equity and the Climate Change Education Policy committees. I am honored to serve in this capacity.

Citizens Climate Assembly

In the fall of 2020, I was invited to share research and practice on climate justice education with Washington state's first Citizens Climate Assembly. As the effort organized, listening sessions were scheduled for early 2021 in a virtual forum.

Climate Teacher Ed Collaborative

In the fall of 2020, Gov. Jay Inslee wrote into his new 2021-23 proposed budget a $600,000 proposal for the career development of pre-service teachers with relation to climate learning. The proviso supports the Institute of Science Education at the University of Washington to coordinate this work across education programs across Washington state. In

The Washington state legislature approved this funding in late April, 2021 with the following language:

Climate Science Education

"Funds are provided for the Institute for Science and Math Education to collaborate with teacher preparation programs and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop an open access climate science educational curriculum for use in teacher preparation programs. (General Fund-State) (Ongoing)" (WA 2021 Budget, p.390)

University of Washington

As I've built networks across the University itself I have engaged in work with the EarthLab and had many climate related learning conversations to make the University's climate outreach more coherent.

Guest Lecture

• Designing learning for accelerating just climate action. In Environment 440 – Environmental Pedagogy, taught by Tim Billo in Spring 2021, Department of Environment, University of Washington, WA, USA. To be held virtually on February 18, 2021.

In December 2019, I was invited to participate in a broad network effort in California - UC–CSU Environmental and Climate Change Literacy Project and Summit (ECCLPS). I spent time at this event sharing learning from the ClimeTime project with ECCLPS leaders. Since this time I have kept in contact with leaders of this effort from Ten Strands, sharing learning as work in this area progresses.

As New Jersey has leaned into climate science learning, I have had several informal conversations with people in the state to share learning from Washington state's efforts to help inform implementation efforts within the state. I am now starting to engage in intentional briefings within New Jersey contexts.

New York has many terrific grass roots efforts to organize community based and justice centered climate learning. I have had numerous informal conversations with New York state networks as well as a few more formal briefings to share learning from Washington state and to learn from their efforts to inform work in other locations. The paper below specifically mentions the Washington ClimeTime effort, illustrating this type of cross-pollination of state efforts.
