Elementary Teacher Institutes 2011
The Monterey Bay Aquarium will be hosting two elementary institutes for teams of full-time classroom teachers this summer. These free, grade-specific, week-long professional development opportunities use activities that are aligned with national and California state science content standards, as well as Ocean Literacy principles.
Monday, August 1 - Friday, August 5, 2011
8:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M. Daily
Participation is limited to 25 middle and high school teachers who wish to incorporate near real-time data into their classroom instruction.

Two are right around the corner:
We'll have some great low tides in the next few weeks to explore the rocky shores. March 5th is our Tidepools for Teachers workshop where participants will learn about the biodiversity and adaptations found in our rocky intertidal zone, then explore our natural tidepools at Point Fermin State Marine Park.
On March 19th, teachers will get a chance to participate in our Peninsula Shorewatch workshop where we'll learn about field research methods and get wet as we conduct a quadrat study at Portugeuse Bend.
Join us online for a voyage across the South Pacific Ocean! Valdivia, Chile to Easter Island - March 2011
