Charting a Course
Donnelly, Laura
Teacher Magazine, v18 n3 p19-23 Dec 2006
In this article, students learn math through boat-building and navigation, music through sea-shanty-singing, literature and history through the study of nautically themed writings, and physical education by rowing traditional dories at Sound School Regional Vocational Aquaculture Center. The school also teaches plenty of modern chemistry, oceanography, and marine technology with state-of-the-art equipment. A core element of Sound School's educational program is the Supervised Occupational Experience--a 200-hour-per-year career-experience plan all students must design and complete under an adviser's guidance. SOE locations can range from National Marine Fisheries Service laboratories to agricultural settings to elementary schools, depending on students' interests and objectives.
