Free (plus a stipend) residential institutes for 3rd-5th grade teachers this summer! Stay with us in Pebble Beach! http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/education/teacher-programs/coastal-systems-teacher-institute Explore the amazing animals of Monterey Bay's marine ecosystems first-hand. With colleagues, Aquarium educators and scientists, you'll conduct your own field investigations, learn to implement science notebooks, and experience how authentic science writing can improve your students' science literacy. With a focus on Systems—one of Next Generation Science Standards' crosscutting concepts—you'll learn how to integrate process skills, science and engineering practices, and technology to get your students excited about protecting the world's oceans. Institutes for secondary teachers too!

Does this program happen every summer? It sounds like it would be a great opportunity!

Hi Tori, The institutes happen every summer! However we alternate which ones are residential. This summer the 6-8 and 9-12 institutes are residential (we put you up in Pebble Beach) and the K-2 and 3-5 institutes are not. Let me know if you have any questions! -Joey [email protected]
