1 . How to Improve Climate Literacy

Climate literacy is the ability to identify, understand and explain information associated with climate science.     1    

Over the past few years, many young people and educators have pushed for the inclusion of climate literacy in national curricula. So what are the best ways in which this can be embedded within already packed school timetables?

True climate literacy must address not only the science of climate change, but also issues of climate (in)justice, including how climate change affects people and places unevenly and contributes to inequalities within and across nations.

    2     Many people in developed countries like the UK therefore see climate change happening elsewhere and to other people, with less relevance to their own lives.

    3     We need to start highlighting the local effects of climate change to ground abstract understanding in reality.

One way to do this is through visual storytelling. Storytelling, often involving drawings and paintings, has been used by human communities to pass on knowledge or tales of caution for at least 30,000 years — as you can see from the cave painting.

One effect of storytelling is its ability to create cognitive dissonance: the mental conflict and discomfort felt when a person’s behaviour isn’t in line with their beliefs. Stories that demonstrate the consequences of not acting eco-consciously — especially if those consequences are shown visually — can be a good way to do this, leading to individuals being more likely to take climate action in their own lives or by confronting corporate activities.

A.Therefore, the teachers we worked with remarked that lessons are typically focused on the physical processes of climate change.
B.However, at present, much of climate change education is focused on the physical aspects of climate change, often at a global scale.
C.The next stages of our research will reflect how a separated community has come together through this journey towards climate literacy.
D.Being climate literate allows individuals to become active participants in the fight against climate change.
E.This collective psychological distancing means many fail to recognise the urgency of the climate crisis.

2 . Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement (偿付), most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions.     1     A company that reimburses employees for all college credit courses — whether job related or not — offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company’s dedication to its employees and it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is to make investments in them.

    2     A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree, more often than not, the employees will stay with the company.     3     Thus, throughout those ears, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will doubly benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be assigned to people who already know the company well.

Though unconditional tuition reimbursement requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.

A.In this way, companies will have more productive employees.
B.In today’s economy, job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable.
C.In return, this dedication to the betterment of employees will create greater loyalty.
D.This is indeed a very limiting policy.
E.Even if employees do leave, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program.

3 . Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement (偿付), most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions.    1    A company that reimburses employees for all college credit courses--whether job related or not--offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company’s dedication to its employees and it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is to make investments in them.

    2    A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money back by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employ turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of tuition reimbursement programs will be more devoted to their company, just knowing that their company cares enough to pay for their education.            

Although companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees, who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree, more often than not, the employees will stay with the company.     3     Thus, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will doubly benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside.
