Project Ocean
Abstract
The American Meteorological Society's Project Ocean teacher professional development program promotes the scientific literacy of K-12 teachers and students by improving the physical oceanography background of in-service teachers. During the 2020-23 award period this was accomplished through 5-week summer courses fully offered to 38 teachers, with residence workshops at Washington College, and including course development and instruction by a U.S. Naval Academy professor. Project participants peer-trained 462 educators using significantly revised course modules and other activities, and received graduate credit for full program participation. Past project alumni served as mentors for other AMS courses.
