Eclipse Tips: K-12 Schools

Total Eclipse DFW exists to help all students in the DFW Metroplex have the opportunity to experience the historic Total Solar Eclipse safely on April 8, 2023 with Solar Eclipse glasses for schools. Our area has not experienced a Total Solar Eclipse for 140 years and will not experience another for 300 years! It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event for North Texas.

Total Eclipse DFW is based partly on a little girl and her classmates who missed the 2017 partial Eclipse because their school didn’t have the correct information.

The students had been prepped by their teachers on what to expect from the partial Solar Eclipse for several weeks. Plans were made for a unique outdoor assembly and the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) raised money and purchased Eclipse viewing glasses online for every student and staff member. However, on the morning of the event, it became clear that the viewing glasses did not meet the safety requirements established by the American Astronomical Society and ISO 12312-2. This mistake (to no fault of anyone other than fraudulent sellers) wasted resources and disappointed several hundred students, families, and educators.

One of those children was Jo Trizila’s daughter. The entire incident behind them seemed like a lost opportunity. But when we learned about the Total Solar Eclipse that will occur in 2024 and began exploring its importance, we knew that every student in the Metroplex – plus all the students who will visit from around the world – should have the opportunity to experience the Total Eclipse in all its majesty and learn the science behind it.

Here’s what schools, colleges and universities need to know about the 2024 Total Eclipse:

Plan Ahead For A Superior Educational Eclipse Experience

• Buy AAS/ISO 12312-2 compliant viewing glasses ASAP.
• Determine whether you will allow mobile phones or cameras outside during the event. If you will allow them, the user must have a Solar Eclipse filter to ensure safety. An alternative is to invite a professional photographer and videographer to shoot the event with you.
• If you need a sponsor to offset costs, find one now.
• Weave the Total Solar Eclipse into curriculum at least a month in advance and for several days after the Eclipse.
  • History, science, art, vocabulary, reading, writing – the opportunities are endless.
• People who have experienced a Total Solar Eclipse find it deeply moving. Give the kids time and space to discuss the experience together.
• Local meteorologists make great speakers for an assembly, and they are happy to do it.
• Move tests and other events to the weeks before and after the Eclipse, if possible. The Eclipse will dominate the day.
• TotalEclipseDFW.com provides extensive information about the Eclipse and can be an excellent resource for educators. Check out these educational resources.
