This 5-year SEA (Sea Education Association) project offers two intensive summer institutes each year - one for elementary school teachers and one for middle through high school science and mathematics teachers - in marine and nautical sciences, designed to provide participants with a general knowledge of marine sciences, ideas of field and lab work that can be implemented in the classroom and passed on to other teachers, and practical experience working at sea as part of a team conducting scientific research. Twenty- three elementary school teachers and twenty-three middle and high school teachers will be selected nationally each year to participate in the summer institutes, for a total of 230 teachers over the course of the project. The Sea Experience programs will begin with shore-based, three week components held in Woods Hole, MA at SEA's campus; here, teachers will participate in courses emphasizing basic concepts in physics, chemistry, geology and biology which can be conveyed to students through studies of the ocean. The final ten days of each program will be spent on board one of SEA;s fully equipped oceanographic research sailing vessels, where teachers will participate in the practical hands-on experience of carrying out research projects and in the operation of the vessels. Follow-up activities will include annual workshops for Sea Experiences participants, and each teacher will be committed to presenting two in-service training workshops in their home states. Teachers will be provided with a large variety of materials to use in their own teaching and will also be required to conduct two workshops for colleagues in their home schools. This proposal is appropriate for Teacher Enhancement because it is designed to enhance the science knowledge and teaching of participants, and because it provides practical experience working as part of a team conducting scientific research. Non-NSF Cost-sharing is approximately 34% of the amount requested from NSF.

这个为期 5 年的 SEA（海洋教育协会）项目每年提供两所海洋和航海科学强化暑期课程，一所为小学教师，一所为初高中科学和数学教师，旨在为参与者提供海洋科学的一般知识、可在课堂上实施并传授给其他教师的实地和实验室工作的想法，以及作为科学研究团队的一部分在海上工作的实践经验。 每年将在全国选拔23名小学教师和23名初高中教师参加暑期学院，项目期间教师总数为230名。 海洋体验项目将从在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔 SEA 校区举行的为期三周的岸上项目开始；在这里，教师将参加强调物理、化学、地质学和生物学基本概念的课程，这些概念可以通过海洋研究传授给学生。 每个课程的最后十天将在 SEA 一艘装备齐全的海洋学研究帆船上度过，教师将参与开展研究项目和船舶操作的实际操作经验。 后续活动将包括为海洋体验参与者举办年度研讨会，每位教师将致力于在其所在州举办两次在职培训研讨会。 教师将获得各种各样的材料用于自己的教学，并且还需要为其所在学校的同事举办两次研讨会。 该提案适合教师增强，因为它旨在增强参与者的科学知识和教学，并且因为它提供了作为科学研究团队的一部分工作的实践经验。 非 NSF 费用分摊约为 NSF 请求金额的 34%。
