Teacher On The Estuary Workshop

Class/Workshop

Teachers on the Estuary (TOTE) professional development trainings. TOTE is a research and field-based teacher training initiative of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System. The goal of TOTE is to improve teachers’ and students’ understanding of the environment using local examples and to provide resources and experience to support the integration of estuary and watershed topics into classroom teaching. The program also promotes stewardship of watersheds and estuaries.

This year's TOTE workshop will explore marine science from the intersection of social and environmental issues. This multi-day interactive workshop introduces science and social studies educators to the Teachers on the Estuary curriculum. The curriculum fosters science-to-civics literacy through a high school curriculum focused on sea-level rise resilience, food-web dynamics, and community-driven solutions.
