Ocean Lecture & Educators’ Night

What: An exciting evening ocean science lecture and a curriculum session
When: Every other month
Where: Alampi Seminar Room, Institute of Marine & Coastal Sciences Building, Cook Campus, Rutgers University

We are hosting an educators event every other month for New Jersey teachers interested in teaching about ocean literacy and bringing current research into their classrooms. Each meeting will include a Rutgers University scientist presenting on their research and a chance to ask the researcher questions. The final hour of the evening will be spent reviewing curriculum developed to align with both the research presented that evening and New Jersey Science Standards.

Each session we will post relevant Background Materials, Lesson Plans, and the presentation online.

If you are attending in person you will receive FREE materials, a light super, and a certificate of professional development hours. However, if you are unable to attend in person we will broadcast the event over the internet. We ask that you register as well if you plan on watching the broadcast so we may ensure that it works well for you.
