Education Leadership Partners
Professional Development Opportunity
We’re seeking new Education Leadership Partners (ELP) to partner with our educators in facilitating STEM-based curriculum and interactive workshops. Educators can apply to participate in a training course where they’ll learn about the Aquarium, our online curriculum and school programs as well as journey from the mountains to the sea through statewide field trips. BONUS: ELPs also earn continuing education hours! To learn more about ELPs and the training course, check out our description sheet.
