ARM’s Contribution to North Slope Science Standards


While on the North Slope in November 2002, ARM Education staff Carrie Talus and Laura Marsh held a meeting with the North Slope Borough School District’s Science Committee, headed by Jodi Picou, in order to discuss adding the subject of climate change to the North Slope science standards. This science committee is working to update and improve the current science standards so that they better match the state and national standards. ARM Education gave this committee a set of recommendations for integrating climate change into the classroom for K-12 students and is looking forward to working with them in the future to include this important subject in the North Slope curriculum.
