The National Center For Science Education Inc

Communications: NCSE is the go-to source for the public generally, and the news media in particular, for up-to-date information on threats to the integrity of the science classroom and proactive solutions to helping students better understand climate science and evolution. In 2024, we ramped up our social media and video production efforts. (continued at Schedule O.)

Investigating Science Education: In 2024, the Investigating Science Education program conducted a nationally representative survey of public school science educators addressing not only evolution and climate change but also the nature of science, published an article on changes in climate change education at the middle school level in a peer-reviewed academic journal, and published two articles in collaboration with a team of outside researchers on evolution acceptance and attitudes toward science and technology.

Catalyzing Action: Our longest-tenured program, Catalyzing Action monitors state and local actions affecting science education and is the go-to source for the public generally, and the news media in particular, for up-to-date information on threats to the integrity of the science classroom. By providing advice, resources, and connections, NCSE has developed a proven track record of success in helping students, parents, administrators, and concerned citizens block threats to accurate evolution and climate education. In 2024, NCSE helped defeat antiscience bills in 5 states and rallied support for quality state science standards and textbooks in 4 states.
