Explore the theories behind effective teaching strategies that are based on the science of how people learn. Instructors, guest lecturers, and students will engage in modeling inquiry-based and active learning techniques through presentations and activities that address concepts in ocean sciences. Ten “lecture” periods will be highly active in nature followed by five sessions of educational practice in museum and field trip settings.
