"Though they all enjoy science at school, their traditional classroom experience with science is rather static.  The structure of the Salish program allowed my students to be real scientists and experience the real challenges and joys of scientific research."
                             -  Kerry Holland, Skyline High School Science Teacher

The next  free 3-hour Teachers' Sails will be March 30, 2008.

A Teacher's Role in Planning a Student Expedition

Teachers and Group Leaders who participate in Salish Sea Expeditions' programs with their students are truly co-creators of their students' adventures.  Each expedition is unique and original according to the needs and interests of the participants.

Teachers interested in providing the Salish Sea Expeditions experience to their students should contact the Salish office at jenny@salish.org.  Salish staff are available to answer questions, provide informational presentations to administrators and parents, and facilitate your planning process.
