Ocean Observing Systems: Summer Teacher Institute 2011
Date: 08/01/11 8:00 am - 08/05/11 4:00 pm
Location: University of Southern California
Attendance: 25 middle and high school teachers who wish to incorporate near real-time data into their classroom instruction
In this Institute, participants will learn about cutting edge instruments deployed to collect data from the ocean environment and about the data that these instruments generate:
- Scientists will present talks about their research using ocean observing systems (OOS)
- Related demonstrations and hands-on activities will present different ways to use data produced by OOS sensors and samplers to enhance classroom lessons and build students' understanding of ocean systems and the importance of the ocean in their lives.
Working in teams, participants will use near-time data from OOS instruments such as moorings and buoys, as well as incorporating Principles of Ocean Literacy, to develop lesson plans that they can integrate into classroom instruction and share with other teachers.
Stipend
Participants will be paid a stipend of $500 for full attendance and development of an original OOS-related lesson plan to be posted on the COSEE-West website for use by other educators. Stipend will be paid upon the delivery of the lesson plan. Participants who present a 3-hour follow up workshop based on Institute content to other educators will be eligible for an additional $200 upon completion of the workshop.
