Professional Development 2019/20 Series

 The National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) is happy to announce a special professional development opportunity for middle and high school educators nationwide. All educators are welcome to register, and NOSB coaches are highly encouraged to participate.

The free online webinar series, beginning in December 2019, will focus on the 2020 NOSB competition theme of ‘Understanding Human, Economic, and Environmental Resiliency in the Gulf of Mexico.’ The purpose of the series is to provide teachers with the opportunity to enhance their awareness and understanding of topics such as: how multiple stressors interact and impact the health, security, and resilience of the Gulf’s marine life, oceanic and estuarine ecosystems, coastal communities, and those across the United States who depend on the Gulf’s ecosystem services. Learn more about the 2020 competition theme online.

NOSB coaches, please note: The seminar’s guest experts will be writing questions for the 2020 NOSB competitions!

Each of the presenters will give a one hour live webinar presentation on their current research or topic of interest, followed by a 30 minute Q&A session. 

The links to each of the webinars will be posted on the NOSB website. All participants logged into the meeting will be able to listen and follow along with the presentation, as well as type questions for the presenter during the live presentation. The NOSB national office staff will read the questions to the presenter.  

In addition to the live interactive portion of the webinars, there will also be asynchronous elements. Each presenter may post related educational resources on the NOSB webpage, which will be available to you and your students to explore. Full video of the presentations will also be posted on the NOSB’s YouTube channel. 

Webinar Presenters:

December 4, 2019 at 4pm Eastern

Sonia Vedral, Renee Collini, Mikaela Heming, Sara Martin

Northern Gulf of Mexico Sentinel Site Cooperative

Preparing Communities for Sea-Level Rise

View the recorded webinar.

Providing a direct link between this seminar series and the NOSB competitions, each presenter will be writing questions for the NOSB competitions. Participating coaches will come away from these webinars with a much stronger understanding of this year’s theme and will be able to better prepare their students for the 2020 NOSB Regional and Finals Competitions. 

How you can participate: Check for an invitation emails from the NOSB national office, or find the link on our Facebook and Twitter sites.  Any other teachers interested in participating may email the NOSB national office at nosb@oceanleadership.org or simply check the NOSB website for the links to each individual webinar.  We anticipate being able to accommodate all interested parties, but participation will be on a first log-in, first serve basis as space allows.
