Program Replication Toolkit
You can bring JA Maritime to your classroom or JA Area. This site has all the information and materials you need to launch the JA Maritime classroom sessions for grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Print materials can be downloaded and copied for students and facilitators. Facilitators do not need specialized knowledge about the maritime industry to lead these fully-scripted sessions.

Facilitator preparation materials
A facilitator implementation guide for each session
Facilitator presentations
Content videos
