Teacher at Sea Program

NOAA’s Teacher at Sea Program offers educators a unique opportunity to join NOAA scientists aboard an ocean research vessel as a member of the science team. Since 1990, more than 850 teachers have sailed on NOAA surveys monitoring our nation’s fisheries, measuring physical and chemical ocean trends, and charting unknown regions of the seafloor.

Applications Due Friday, November 15th!

This free professional development is top-notch!! This is also the last time that DATASTREME EARTH'S DATA CLIMATE SYSTEM will be Offered. i personally have Taken in alL Three courses AND Paid for the Graduate Credits TO QUALIFY for aDVANCEMENT ON THE SALARY GUIDE. It Really is a great Option! I Highly recommend...

Traveling Through Time with the International Ocean Discovery Program: Scientific Ocean Drilling Reveals Earth's Past

Thursday, April 11, 2024, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT

Registration Deadline: Tuesday, April 9, 2024, Register Here

Webinar, Free of Cost

The JOIDES Resolution (JR) is a ship that operates on behalf of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and is one of just a handful of vessels designed specifically to drill into the ocean floor for scientific research. The cylinders of sediment and rock that are recovered from the ocean floor—called "cores"—can be considered time machines, revealing secrets from Earth's past about geology, climate change, and the origins and extremes of life. The evidence these cores provide gives a vital foundation and real-world data for understanding key topics addressed in NGSS performance expectations.

In this session, participants will learn how to incorporate free JR resources into their curricula to make science real for their students. Attendees will take part in activities related to cores and microfossils, and will learn how to access resources including additional classroom activities and core replicas that can be borrowed for classroom use. Participants will come away with data-based resources that will get students engaged in real-world science.

G-Camp: A Field Camp for 5th - 12th Grade Science Teachers.

Saturday, June 29, 2024 - Sunday July 14, 2024

Application Due April 19, 2024 - Only 30 Seats Available
