When it comes sum- 

 mer, you can bet Lundie 

 Spence has a calendar 

 full of coastal work- 

 shops planned for teach- 

 ers. And this year, 

 Spence has three work- 

 shops on tap. 



The first is set for the Teacher In- 

 stitute in Belize, a small country south 

 of Mexico. The ten-day workshop 

 (July 7 to July 16) is designed for up- 

 per elementary and secondary science 

 teachers. Participants will investigate 

 rivers, mangrove swamps, grass flats 



and coral reefs. In addition to science 

 activities, teachers will visit Mayan 

 ruins and canoe old Mayan trails. The 

 Institute is designed to teach field 

 science techniques, to provide teachers 

 with an opportunity to work with 

 scientists doing research and to help 

 teachers make comparisons between 

 North Carolina ecosystems and 

 tropical ecosystems. The workshops 

 will be limited to 15 teachers. It will 

 cost approximately $900. Teachers will 

 receive certification renewal units and 

 Gifted and Talented credit. The 

 workshop will be sponsored by N.C. 

 Dept. of Public Instruction's Division 

 of Science Education and UNC Sea 

 Grant. For more information or an ap- 

 plication, write Lundie Spence, UNC 

 Sea Grant, 105 1911 Building, North 

 Carolina State University, Raleigh, 

 N.C. 27650 or call (919) 737-2454. 



The second summer workshop, 

 "Coastal Beginnings — America's 

 400th Anniversary Celebration," is 

 scheduled for July 17-24 at the N.C. 

 Marine Resources Center on Roanoke 

 Island. This workshop will focus on the 

 nation's first colony — its culture and 

 its environment. The workshop is 

 limited to educators who teach North 

 Carolina history. Spence is requesting 

 that teachers apply in teams of three 

 (one fourth grade teacher, one eighth 

 grade teacher and one supervisor or 

 administrative resource educator) 

 from each of the eight educational 

 regions. The workshop will cost ap- 

 proximately $120 and is sponsored by 

 Sea Grant, the 400th Anniversary 

 Committee, the N.C. Marine 

 Resources Center at Roanoke Island 



and the N.C. Dept. of Public Instruc- 

 tion's Division of Social Studies. Par- 

 ticipating educators will receive 

 renewal units and Gifted and Talented 

 credit. Write Spence for an applica- 

 tion. 



The final workshop, "The Sea and 

 Science," will be held July 24-29 at the 

 Cape Fear Technical Institute in 

 Wilmington. Teachers will learn about 

 the chemistry, biology and geology of 

 the ocean and about beach and salt 

 marsh communities. The workshop is 

 limited to 25 educators — science 

 teachers (grades 7-12), marine occupa- 

 tions teachers and career exploration 

 teachers. The cost is approximately 

 $120. Educators can earn renewal 

 units and Gifted and Talented credit. 

 The workshop is sponsored by Sea 

 Grant, the Cape Fear Technical In- 

 stitute and the N.C. Marine Resources 

 Center at Ft. Fisher. Write Spence for 

 an application.
