Last year, Jefferson Magnet School was converted into a science-based magnet school in Norwalk CT. What's unique about this particular school is the strength and utilization of its partnership with the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
The fruit of this collaboration will have been more than 250 collaborative programs between the school and aquarium in the last year alone. These activities are used as the basis of an integrated curriculum that spans all disciplines, not just science.
Data collected in a science notebook becomes the basis of reading activities and math lessons. Education outreach has long been a cornerstone of public aquariums. Here's hoping that the collaboration results in real improvements for the students and better strategies for education in general.
