Teacher training programs are designed to increase learners’ knowledge of coastal ecology and the impacts of human actions on coastal areas, and to promote ecologically sustainable behaviors. Participants learn to access and utilize environmental data while preparing math
and science lessons that are exciting for students, meet prescribed education stanards,
and teach communication and analytical skills using real world scenarios. The Reserve
currently offers a variety of teacher training opportunities, including graduate credit courses and presentations at regional, state, and national conferences. The programs highlight topics such as renewable energy, climate change, coastal processes, eutrophication, and estuarine ecology. The Reserve’s K-12 Educator also provides one to one consulting with teachers to infuse estuarine education into the curriculum.
