This award provides continued funding for COSEE California (COSEE CA) which has demonstrated its ability to develop successful, catalytic activities that spark and nurture collaborations among scientists and educators to advance ocean literacy. COSEE CA combines the resources and expertise of original partners, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, with two new partners, San Diego Unified School District and The College of Exploration. With the goal of increasing public awareness and understanding of the ocean, COSEE?CA will embark on three major initiatives: 1) Supporting the Ocean Literacy campaign (developing and validating an ocean sciences learning progression to accompany the Ocean Literacy scope & sequence, and disseminating the Ocean Literacy framework); 2) Strategic national dissemination of Communicating Ocean Sciences to Formal and Informal Audiences by streamlining the implementation process to reach large numbers of new institutions; and 3) supporting sustained partnerships among teachers, facilitators and researchers to develop cutting-edge educational tools that promote inquiry through the use of technology-mediated visualizations, simulations and investigations. Together, these three initiatives comprise a coherent strategy for building the nation?s capacity for putting into practice the Essential Principles of Ocean Literacy at all levels of formal education. COSEE CA is focused on the following objectives: 1) bring the content knowledge and technology tools of ocean scientists into the world of K-12 and postsecondary education; 2) build Network-wide collaborations that provide COSEE with national standing and a collective voice; 3) develop and disseminate model programs that increase the public?s understanding of the ocean; and 4) conduct educational research to bring ocean sciences into mainstream science education curriculum and standards.

该奖项为COSEE加州（COSEE CA）提供持续资助，该机构已证明有能力开展成功的催化活动，激发和培养科学家和教育工作者之间的合作，以促进海洋素养。COSEE CA将原始合作伙伴斯克里普斯海洋学研究所和加州大学伯克利分校劳伦斯科学馆的资源和专业知识与两个新合作伙伴圣地亚哥联合学区和探索学院相结合。为了提高公众对海洋的认识和了解，COSEE？合作与文化署将开展三项主要举措：1）支持海洋扫盲运动（制定和验证海洋科学学习进展，以配合海洋扫盲范围&序列，并传播海洋扫盲框架）; 2）通过简化执行过程，在全国范围内战略性地传播《向正式和非正式受众传播海洋科学》，以覆盖大量新机构;支持教师、辅导员和研究人员之间的持续伙伴关系，以开发尖端的教育工具，通过使用技术介导的可视化、模拟和调查来促进探究。这三项举措共同构成了建设国家的连贯战略。在各级正规教育中落实海洋扫盲基本原则的能力。COSEE CA专注于以下目标：1）将海洋科学家的内容知识和技术工具带入K-12和中学后教育的世界; 2）建立网络范围的合作，为COSEE提供国家地位和集体声音; 3）开发和传播增加公众？开展教育研究，将海洋科学纳入主流科学教育课程和标准。
