Spence, UNC Sea Grant's marine educa- tion specialist, is organizing a nine-day teachers' workshop in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, July 14 to July 22. The workshop is designed for sixth, seventh and eighth grade teachers and supervisors. It will provide educators with en- vironmental teaching skills for classroom and field-oriented activities. They will explore coral reefs, mangrove swamps and rain forests. And the investigative skills they learn can be applied to the temperate North Carolina coast. The workshop also provides an op- portunity for cultural and educational exchange between North Carolina and Puerto Rican educators. This will be a bilingual program, but knowledge of Spanish is not necessary. The cost of the workshop is $360, which includes housing and a sub- sistence allowance. The plane fare from Raleigh to Mayaguez is about $600. Participants will be responsible for obtaining their own tickets. The workshop is limited to 15 par- ticipants, and applicants will be accep- ted on a first-come basis. A $100 deposit, due by May 1, will secure a spot. Teachers and supervisors can receive continuing education credits. from North Carolina State Univer- sity, gifted and talented credit, and possibly two graduate credits in educa- tion.
