M.A.R.E. Program
"Marine Activities, Resources and Education"

The MARE Program is a dynamic, K-6, integrated science program focusing on the ocean. Each year MARE schools conduct whole-school educational events that involve faculty and students as well as parents and the community. Ocean Immersion activities and Ocean Month provide a centerpiece for a year-long ocean study. Students engage in inquiry-based science curriculum that focuses on a different marine habitat at each grade level. In order to implement the program, each school site sent a leadership team to a summer immersion workshop. Teachers participated in field and classroom instruction highlighting the many habitats featured in the MARE Curriculum. Daily instruction included a fascinating array of science content delivered by a talented group of educators, scientists, and researchers. Instruction included experiences with standards-rich, inquiry based science techniques addressing the needs of English learners, and strategies for incorporating technology and literacy into the science program.
