The goal of this proposed new collaboration between the Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) Coastal Trends and Queen Anne's County Public School (QACPS) district is to use the Ocean Literacy: Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts as the foundation for formalizing a semester-long entry level secondary school ocean science course. We propose a partnership between COSEE Coastal Trends, housed at an ocean research institution (University of Maryland, Center of Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory) and QACPS in rural coastal MD. Curriculum team members will assemble an entry level Ocean Science course entitled An Introduction to Our Dynamic Ocean from existing lessons designed to utilize real-time and near real-time data and scientific discoveries. The course will be pilot-tested by teachers in Queen Anne's County, Maryland and throughout the COSEE Coastal Trends region (MD, DE, and VA). Once published, it will be disseminated as a model for other school systems in Maryland and the COSEE Network. In making this an active course based on ocean research and exploration, we will engage students in learning about the ocean and its impact on Earth's processes. Such newly gained knowledge directly answers the call for better public understanding of the ocean and its role in our lives. Integrating ocean research and exploration into the course will assure a connection to authentic science. Rigorous assessment and evaluation of the course development process and the course curriculum will result in both a successful partnership between a scientific and an education entity, and a model ocean science course for entry level secondary science students. By targeting all students as they enter secondary school, this course will reach out to students underrepresented in the sciences. Increasing ocean science literacy among this population will support the community-wide goal of increasing ocean science literacy in the general public. The influence of this project will be expanded by dissemination of the assembled, pilot-tested, refined and formalized course to other school districts in the Mid-Atlantic region and throughout the COSEE network.

海洋科学教育中心（COSEE）沿海趋势与安妮女王县公立学校（QACPS）区之间的这一提议新合作的目标是使用海洋素养：基本原则和基本概念，作为正式化学期的入学课程中学级中学海洋科学课程的基础。我们提出了位于海洋研究机构（马里兰大学，环境科学中心，霍恩角实验室）和QACP的Cosee Coastal趋势之间的合作伙伴关系。课程团队成员将组装一个入门级海科学课程，题为“我们动态海洋的介绍”，该课程旨在利用实时和近乎实时的数据和科学发现。 该课程将由安妮女王县，马里兰州以及整个Cosee沿海趋势地区（MD，DE和VA）进行试点测试。一旦出版，它将被传播为马里兰州其他学校系统和Cosee Network的模型。在使这本积极的课程基于海洋研究和探索的过程中，我们将吸引学生学习海洋及其对地球过程的影响。这种新获得的知识直接回答了人们对海洋及其在我们生活中的作用的更好理解的呼吁。将海洋研究和探索整合到课程中将确保与真实科学的联系。对课程发展过程和课程课程的严格评估和评估将导致科学和教育实体之间的成功伙伴关系，以及针对入门级中学科学专业学生的模型海洋科学课程。通过针对所有学生进入中学时，本课程将与科学领域不足的学生联系。该人群中海洋科学素养的提高将支持在社区范围内提高公众的海洋科学素养的目标。该项目的影响将扩大，通过传播聚集，经过试验的，精制和正式的课程，向中大西洋地区和整个Cosee网络的其他学区进行。
