The biggest difficulty with this idea is the decentralized nature of our public and private education systems. What has been a historic strength in ensuring local control and alignment with local parents’ sensibilities is a significant obstacle in getting curricula suggestions widely adopted. State-by-state, if not district- by-district, individually tailored efforts will be necessary. Thus, the efforts of many people will be required to bring the vision to reality. However, if efforts can be assembled in several of our most affected states, perhaps a meaningful impact can be made on the consequences of unknowingly living with high levels of radon.
As this effort proceeds, help will be needed with the module content: input on the relative value of segments and their ability to engage; composition of accompanying artwork, videos, and graphics; plus commentary on pacing, level, and tone. Most importantly, help will be needed from people having firsthand knowledge of how today’s secondary education system works and who have the time to volunteer to approach science teachers, administrators, and district boards as necessary.
If you are interested in engaging with this effort (envisioned to get fully underway in early 2023), reach out through the Response Form that provides an opportunity to contribute any comments and describe the ways in which your background, contacts, and energies can be of assistance. There are no guarantees, but it will be a worthy effort.
Random and not-so-random connections drive the world. Let’s make some!
