Professional Development
The fun is not just for your students!
Teachers can immerse themselves in learning while acquiring valuable content knowledge through hands-on experiences. Our professional development opportunities are designed for teachers to explore a wide range of topics related to the unique aquatic ecosystems found around the world.
Teacher workshops are held throughout the year. Adjacent to each workshop, we have noted the month when the workshop will occur. Additional information about a particular workshop will be posted 2-3 months prior to the workshop.
