To highlight and engage educators with the resources, DOSITS is launching a new (and free) online Educator Professional Development Certificate program. We are inviting the first cohort of educators to participate in the online program over the Spring of 2024. The program will be limited to 20 formal (grades 5-16) and informal science educators. We encourage marine mammal specialists from aquaria and whale watch operations to participate! To participate, please register using the link below. Registration is open until Monday, April 1, 2024. We will be in touch by Thursday, April 4th regarding registration status.
