Aquatic & Marine Science for Today's Classroom Teacher
The National Aquarium invites educators in the District of Columbia metropolitan region to participate in a free, stipend-based program, generously funded by the Toyota USA Foundation. The foundation supports innovative education programs such as this one with special emphasis on mathematics and science for teachers of grades K–12.
Educators will learn aquatic and marine science concepts that develop their skills and address the National Science Education Standards (NSES) that were designed to "guide our nation toward a scientifically literate society." Aquatic and Marine Science for Today's Classroom Teacher demonstrates how educators can use the National Aquarium to help their students meet national standards.
