Birch Aquarium Instructors

Who teaches Education Programs at Birch Aquarium at Scripps? A team of dedicated and experienced educators with a diverse background in marine, environmental, geological, and/or biological science, in addition to informal and formal education.  Each instructor has a BA or BS degree in science or education, at least one year of experience teaching science at an informal education facility and has worked with diverse audiences.

Our experienced Instructors deliver educational programs to all age levels, from pre-K to adult, on a variety of topics.

All Instructors employ current best-teaching strategies and inquiry-based learning.
