| Description: | Activities, Lessons, Instructional Materials, and Resources for Teaching Science Through the Marine Environment. Headquarters in the Pugent Sound area of Washington state. "The FOR SEA marine science curriculum and teacher training program has its roots in the recognition of both the power and the fragility of the world ocean and in the need for individuals to understand and appreciate these seemingly contradictory aspects of the sea. Since 1978, FOR SEA has helped teachers provide high quality science education. From its modest beginnings in a few classrooms, the project grew to regional and then national prominence as the materials and teaching strategies led to student success in science. In recognition of this effectiveness, the National Science Teachers Association, the Council of State Science Supervisors and the National Science Supervisors Association selected FOR SEA as an exemplary middle school/junior high school curriculum, as an exemplary career awareness in science curriculum, and as an exemplary environmental education curriculum. In addition, on five separate occasions FOR SEA received national validation from the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Education for the FOR SEA elementary and secondary curriculum materials and teacher training program." |
