Please see the memo from Learning for a Sustainable Future:
The groundbreaking 2019 “Canada, Climate Change and Education” survey gave us a look into climate change knowledge and education practice in Canada and produced recommendations for all sectors to support climate change learning.
We’re excited to follow up with our second climate change education survey to see how things have changed—a lot has happened since 2019!
For the 2021 survey, we want to hear from K-12 educators, parents of K-12 students, students 12-18 years of age, faculty of education instructors, and members of the general public.
You can access the survey here: https://LSF-LST.ca/research-policy/survey/
The survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete and your answers will remain confidential and anonymous. By taking part in this survey, you will help our understanding of how the public, teachers, parents and students view climate change education in Canadian schools and what supports are needed to effectively teach climate change in classrooms.
This survey is being conducted by Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF) with support from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Leger, the largest Canadian-owned market research company, is providing data collection and analysis. This research is the second phase of a baseline research study undertaken in 2018-2019 by LSF and Leger in collaboration with Dr. Ellen Field, Assistant Professor, Lakehead University. The results will be used to develop recommendations to governments, school districts and educators to help Canadian youth address climate change.
The Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF/FCE) is supporting this research by disseminating the survey and sharing the results with CTF/FCE Member Organizations and Education International (EI) as part of their shared commitment to climate action.
Respondents completing the survey will be offered the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win a Chromebook (must be over 18 to enter). Names and contact information for the draw are not collected with the rest of the survey; responses will be kept in confidence and will not be used for any further research.
On behalf of Learning for a Sustainable Future, thank you for taking the time to provide your views on this important topic.
