An essential component of NOAA Ocean Exploration’s mission is to enhance ocean science literacy and enhance understanding of why it is important to explore our little-known ocean world. To help fulfill this mission, NOAA Ocean Exploration offers several professional development opportunities for educators to engage in learning more about the deep sea. The offerings are designed to introduce participants to ocean exploration topics, model student activities and investigations on deep-sea phenomena, and connect educators with research and/or explorers from our expeditions. At the same time, we provide exemplary tools and resources for the classroom to enhance the teaching and learning of ocean science and NOAA endeavors in ocean exploration. Online and onsite professional development workshops are offered around the country in cooperation with our Education Alliance Partners.
