GTM Research Reserve TOTE 2023: Growing Community Partnerships and Addressing Education Needs

This Teachers on the Estuary (TOTE) training will focus on connecting educators to community organizations that provide opportunities to further engage students. Although the training pertains to all K-12 teachers, it may specifically relate to educators and students who are limited by factors such as distance, transportation, and financial ability. This two-day workshop will offer opportunities to register with the GTM Research Reserve for estuarine science programs as well as network with representatives from local organizations that can also offer programs or assist with developing additional opportunities.

  • Day 1: Monday, July 31, 2023 (8:30am-3:30pm)
  • Day 2: Tuesday, August 1, 2023 (8:30am-3:30pm)

  • Where: 505 Guana River Road, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082 (map)

Pre-Program Activity: Review GTM Research Reserve’s Marsh 360 Virtual Reality Session then create an outline for a new lesson you think would go well with the VR session.

Please note, registration is for both days. We will work with school districts to provide CEU credits.
