2010 Coast Alive! Teacher Institute

Land-Sea Interface

July 11-16, 2010

Sunday-Friday
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Join us for six days as we explore the San Francisco Bay while learning to incorporate stimulating, inquiry-based, and multimedia curriculum in your intermediate grade science classroom.

This summer, our in-depth institute will start at Tilden Regional Park. As a participating teacher, during the week of July 11th, you will visit various East Bay Regional Parks and California State Parks to experience first-hand the ecology of wetland, upland, and sandy beach habitats. You will learn about the geology and ecology of the San Francisco Bay Region (and how it all relates to ocean literacy).

This intensive six day course will integrate science standards, math standards, and Language Arts standards. You will conduct local field investigations, receive a free Coast Alive! — Land-Sea Interface CD-ROM, the Coast Alive! Teacher Guide, and earn a generous stipend. Academic Units are also available. And you will become eligible for transportation scholarships to bring students to the bay.

Registration is now open! If you have any questions, call our toll-free number: 1-888-325-3288.
