Teacher Appreciation Day:
Mark your calendar for our annual Teacher Appreciation Day on Saturday, January 19, 2013. Throughout the day, the Aquarium education staff will provide field trip information and point out the many ways the Tennessee Aquarium can supplement lesson plans.
Workshops:
Teachers can take advantage of the many workshops and in-service opportunities available through the Tennessee Aquarium. Many of these classes can be hosted at the Aquarium or at your school. Additionally, classes can be tailored to fit your school in-service schedule.
