The five-day workshop builds on the complex relationship between habitat and adaptation. Working with the aquarium’s education and animal husbandry staffs, K-5 educators explore five marine ecosystems, including wetlands, sandy shores, rocky shores, the deep sea, and the open ocean. Teachers participating in the TEAMS workshop take field trips and participate in a variety of structured activities centered on the five marine habitats, including a visit to the a tide pool and an ocean boat trip. Participants receive a binder full of educational materials for their class rooms. They gain new instructional tools, receive peer coaching by the aquarium’s education specialists, network with colleagues from outside their local area, and enjoy behind-the- scenes experiences at the aquarium. TEAMS: Marine Ecosystems can be taken for four graduate credits ($ 180) through Western Oregon University. Oregon Professional Development Units or Washington State Clock Hours also are available. As a co-sponsor for this year’s TEAMS workshop, the Elizabeth Street Inn is offering 10 free rooms to partici pating teachers. The rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
