Partnerships
A Statewide Network of Teacher Leaders
At the South Carolina Aquarium, teachers were required to participate in a teacher training workshop prior to bringing their students to the Aquarium at no cost. I championed the development and implementation of the Education Leadership Partners Program. This program was designed to train a cadre of mentor teachers to facilitate teacher workshops across the state and to serve as Ambassadors for the Aquarium. A description of the program is linked below.
