For all you teachers out there who’d like to brush up on
your curriculum, we are happy to announce a series of professional development workshops
that will teach you how to better communicate the passion of science to your
students.
First, is the Astrobiology Institute for Instructors
workshop, where you will deepen your understanding of “life's origin, evolution and
distribution within the universe.” There will also be teacher lesson-building
activities to help communicate your insights to the classroom at the conclusion
of the workshop. For more information on applying, follow the link here
Second, the Consortium for Ocean Leadership’s Deep Earth Academy has a
program called the School of Rock, where select educators will have the
opportunity to go to sea aboard the JOIDES Resolution drill ship for the
scholastic adventure of a lifetime. There, you will be amongst professionals
who will teach you about core samples, how to examine them, and how to operate
laboratory technology. More information and the application can be found here.
Third, is a course run by the West Coast Center for Ocean Sciences
Education Excellence. It is an intensive workshop on microbiology that will
seek to develop your knowledge of the microbial ecosystem beneath the seafloor.
More information can be found by emailing Pat
Harcourt.
