Our School of Rock (SOR) program is a professional development opportunity for formal and informal educators onboard or involving the JOIDES Resolution. While living onboard the ship (when possible) or in a land/lab-based workshop, teachers will work with scientists and technicians to learn about many aspects of earth science, geology, paleoceanography and more done aboard this amazing ship; what we learn from scientific drilling; and how to do the kinds of scientific analyses and lab exercises our scientists do. This newfound knowledge will help teachers in creating and/or modifying existing resources for their students in many areas of the science curriculum.
School of Rock workshops usually occur once a year, during a transit or tie-up period for the vessel.
