Ocean and You
can provide programs for any grade level and any format. My teaching methods, using creative and
critical thinking to promote conservation, are best suited to groups of 10-30 students.
I would like to build an ongoing relationship with your teachers and students, to provide a coherent marine
science education component to your school, daycare or after-school program. The ideal program would extend
over 5-6 weeks, with one contact hour per week. (You may wish to contact JY Joyner
elementary school to find out what they think of my 5-week after school program.)
I will also gladly teach a single class - if you like what I do,
ask for more. I will design a program to fit your needs and budget, but here are some ideas to start out.
For your next in-school field trip, consider having the ocean come to visit!
An Ocean and You
field trip brings the sights, sounds and feel of the ocean to your school.
Curricula combine inquiry-guided science with
stories, art, and music. All elements of the programs inspire and empower kids to protect the ocean.
Oceanography is a wonderful science, because it includes aspects of most other sciences.
Ocean and You can develop
programs to meet almost all of the NC State science competency standards, but a few examples are listed in this
flyer.
After school programs may last anywhere from a single one-hour program,
to a multi-week program capped by an assembly. Topics include marine life, the water cycle, seasons and
our connection with the ocean. In Wake County, consider having Water Wednesdays presented by
Ocean and You .
Let Ocean and You
enrich your children's day, with classes developed for informal learning environments. This
flyer should give you some ideas.
