Project Summary
Teachers on the Estuary (TOTE) II is designed for middle and high school science teachers who have already attended a TOTE workshop at one of the New England National Estuarine Research Reserves in the summers of 2009, 2010, or 2011. This course aims to improve teacher and student understanding of the environment using local examples and to provide resources and experience to support the incorporation of estuary and watershed topics into classroom teaching. The course is also designed to promote stewardship of watersheds and estuaries.
