Educators can explore the unique teaching resources available at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk during a free after-hours open house on Wednesday, Oct. 24. The event, called “Fish School,” runs from 4 to 7 p.m. The purpose of the free evening is to show teachers and other educators the many ways they can connect their students and curricula with the Maritime Aquarium’s educational resources and programs, which help to fulfill state, Common Core and Next Generation Science standards. “‘Fish School’ demonstrates all the ways the aquarium can be an extension of the classroom,” said Tom Naiman, the aquarium’s director of education. “From our animal exhibits to our IMAX Theater to our catalog of unique programs — for preschoolers all the way up to college level — the aquarium and our education programs are intended to support educators, while of course teaching and inspiring their students.”

Not Just for School Teachers
“Fish School” is open to all working educators, including school administrators, homeschool parents and those who present educational content at libraries, community centers and other resources apart from schools.
