I think this is a very simple question for me. Bar none, the most controversial topic I teach is climate change. Students have the most questions, the greatest amount of confusion, and a large amount of misinformation. This summer, I’ve been able to research where some of the confusion and misunderstanding comes from as well as who authors the misinformation. It’s not often in life that you are paid to research something so thoroughly. So, the unit plan I am writing (and it’s almost done!) may not in all ways reflect the research I’ve completed, but I know my teaching of this subject will. I believe that with the help of my mentor, I’ve been able to construct a lesson plan that teaches a broad range of information about climate and weather, the application of basic statistical principles in science (in general) and about meteorology (specifically), and allows students to draw their own, better informed conclusions. That’s the kind of teacher I’d like to be all the time.
