“A Student-Centered Approach to Intro Oceanography”

Hosted by Gillian Stewart on February 6th, 2026

Join Gillian Stewart, author of "Oceanography: An Interdisciplinary Approach," to learn different strategies on how to teach a more student-centered introductory oceanography class.

After teaching nonmajor science students for 20+ years, Gillian has tried almost everything to keep them engaged inside and outside of class. Her textbook package was created directly from the accumulation of that experience as she learned what did and didn't work. What topics pique their interest? How do you keep them hooked? How can quantitative literacy be integrated without overwhelming them?

In this webinar, she'll share how the topics, narrative voice, and approachable content in her textbook is geared specifically for today's students in ways that traditional books are not. This book is not just another textbook... it's the physical embodiment of what it means to put students at the heart of your teaching.

Whether it's your first time teaching nonmajors oceanography, or your hundredth, you'll take away actionable tidbits to make your oceanography course one that students remember after receiving their final grade.
