2.5-Day Workshop for Instructors

About the 2.5-Day Workshop…
This workshop at the University of California Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science is designed for scientist/science educator teams that plan to co-teach the undergraduate and graduate course, Communicating Ocean Sciences or Communicating Ocean Sciences to Informal Audiences. During this 2.5-day workshop we will provide you with:

  • Complete syllabus and instructor's guide;
  • A full set of curricula for students to take into local classrooms or COSIA activity write-ups that students can use in informal learning environments;
  • Correlations of course curriculum to pedagogy and National Science Education Standards;
  • Sample documentation to get the course listed at your site;
  • Ongoing technical assistance to ensure successful implementation of the course.

You will be introduced to each of the class sessions, then we will help you to customize the syllabus for your local setting and needs.

"Co-teaching the class has been fun and gratifying. It is great to have the opportunity to think beyond the typical college lecture format. I have incorporated some of the sessions into my other marine science classes, and my teaching skills have definitely improved, particularly my ability to lead successful class discussions."
