NOAA's Teacher in the Air and at Sea Programs

Are you a teacher who is interested in marine or oceanographic research? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is looking for motivated teachers (K-16) with a desire to do scientific research at sea and share that experience with students and colleagues. Several NOAA ships and aircraft participate in this extraordinary program. Please visit the NOAA Teacher at Sea or NOAA Teacher in the Air Web sites for more information.
