ATTENTION TEACHERS!

Are you interested in incorporating these broadcasts into your lesson plans? This year, we’ll be sending out a Reefs Go Live booklet that incorporates all four broadcasts in advance of the first episode in addition to lesson plans and activity sheets sent out the week before each episode. If you have any questions or would like to get information or help from our education team, please reach out! We want Reefs Go Live to be a helpful resource to you and your students! We’re happy to connect over email, phone, video calls, and in-person visits when possible.

Many thanks to the Edmund F. and Virginia B. Ball Foundation for their sponsorship of Reefs Go Live.

Students: Learn, train, and even dive with CCMI this spring and summer!
