Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a co-ed maritime college located in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts that challenges students to succeed by balancing a regimented lifestyle with a typical four-year college environment.
The Follow The Voyage program is an online blog documenting the experiences of Marine Engineering and Marine Transportation majors taking part in Sea Term, a six-week learning experience aboard the academy's training ship the TS Kennedy. This year, Sea Term 2017 will run from January 8th to February 19th. When your students Follow The Voyage, they’ll feel like they’re actually on the TS Kennedy as they witness the day-to-day life and learning of cadets. They’ll also experience the food, art, and culture of the TS Kennedy’s exciting ports of call - all without ever leaving the classroom.
This year, the 2017 Follow The Voyage program promises to be better than ever! Not only will the lessons include real-life application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), there will also be engaging activities that incorporate language arts, social studies, and character development – many created exclusively for Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In the past, the Follow The Voyage program has been geared towards students in grades seven and eight. This year, we will also involve students in grade two thru six. Massachusetts Maritime Academy will provide log books and maps to participating classrooms free of charge. We have also added an exciting community service project that will parallel the humanitarian work of the Massachusetts Maritime cadets.
A Facebook page has been created just for educators who will be participating in the Follow The Voyage program. Log onto and “LIKE” 2017 Follow The Voyage For Educators. Don’t miss out on informative posts as we countdown to departure day! Stay up-to-date on the TS Kennedy’s upcoming ports of call and preview curriculum activities. When Sea Term 2017 is underway, the 2017 Follow The Voyage For Educators Facebook page will be a great place for you to post updates share photos of what is happening in your classroom.
Mrs. Nancy A. Franks has recently signed on as the 2017 Follow The Voyage Outreach Coordinator. Having just retired from the Plymouth Massachusetts Public School System, she brings thirty-year years of experience and a wealth of amazing ideas and enthusiasm to her new position.

I have been to two different recruiting fairs that had 1000 attendees. A district nearby me that the Superintendent says has a critical teaching shortage and next year he will recruit more out of state, I have 27 applications in on jobs for that district and have never got a call. I do check the sites every day, but I have only gotten one in person interview and a few phone interviews in which they were interviewing all day, and I was not selected. It is very hard not to get discouraged and I did see people cry at the last teacher fair when they did not get called for an on site interview, for which I got one. >>> >>> >>>> >>>> I am not sure where you live, but Earth Science is good >>>> because you can also teach Physical Science, so if a >>>> job is posted for that you can apply.
