CPS 317 – Dr. Li’s Room EDUCATORS’ BELIEFS, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICE IN WORKING WITH QUEER STUDENTS Maxwell Folkman My mixed-methods study explores secondary teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, and practice working with LGBTQ+ students in the state of Wisconsin. I will present on my framework and current progress in my data collection. THE EFFECTS OF INFUSING HOPE INTO THE GEOSCIENCE CURRICULUM ON STUDENT CLIMATE EMOTIONS, BELIEFS, AND BEHAVIOR Kate Kramer Geoscience, a critical field for addressing contemporary societal challenges like climate change, clean energy, and natural hazard resilience, introduces a paradox: geoscience education may induce eco-anxiety among students, impacting their mental health and sustainability behaviors. This “practical eco-anxiety” within geoscience courses stems from the complexity of ecological threats, such as climate change, leading to cognitive dissonance and feelings of helplessness (Berry et al., 2018; Kurth and Pihkala, 2022). My research investigates the implications of eco- anxiety in geoscience education, aiming to inform strategies that foster sustainability and mental well-being in students.
