Based on the success of our one-day sailing and STEM program, Set Sail Learn, as demonstrated by very high demand for the program as well as through evaluations and testimonials, TISC has developed a more in-depth program, Sailing to Save the Sea (SSS). Through in-depth and hands-on exploration of San Francisco Bay watershed pollution issues, SSS aims to improve students’ understanding of their local watershed and risks that affect it, while also encouraging stewardship actions, fostering environmental awareness, and cultivating an interest in sailing.
SSS is a five-day program whereby days one, two, and three are spent onsite at TISC’s Treasure Island facility. Days four and five are situated within students’ school classrooms. Onsite visits will be facilitated by a TISC educator and will be split between on-shore learning and on the water. All activities on the water are supervised and handled by TISC’s sailing instructors.
With support from NOAA, 11th Hour Racing, St. Francis Sailing Foundation, Whale Tail License Palte-Protect Our Coast and Oceans Fund, we are able to promote a proven learning model and offer professional development to our participating 5th grade teachers at no cost.

March 14th Ocean Literacy Workshop & Sail
Description: Join us for a two-day experience exploring how land-based events and climate change are impacting the San Francisco Bay watershed from Sierra Crest to San Francisco Bay. In this workshop, we will weave together NGSS and language learning priorities (CC) via proven strategies. Building on existing resources (Amplify) we will focus on time saving instructional strategies that support students as they move beyond academics to community-based action (advocacy).
Participants will have planning time on the second day to ensure that workshop tools can be immediately implemented in service of student learning. Participants will also receive:
Light Breakfast and Lunch will be provided and activities will be indoor and outdoors! Location: All workshops are located at Treasure Island Sailing Center
Students will use maps to charactierize what a watershed is and how it is connected from its headwaters to San Francisco Bay. Students will kinesthetically represent…
