| Seminar Short Desc | Project WET: Water Education Today is dedicated to solving critical environmental challenges by teaching the world about water. We do this by providing hands-on, science-based water education resources to formal and non-formal educators around the world. These resources encourage responsible environmental stewardship and promote meaningful action to address environmental challenges, climate change, and sustainability. Participants will receive a free curriculum guide to take with them. |
| Seminar Full Desc | Project WET (min 4 hours) and the early childhood Getting Little Feet WET (min 3 hours) are multidisciplinary water-based curriculums. WET 2.0 was updated in 2012 and now includes correlations to Common Core State Standards in Math and English Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards. It also includes connections to STEM, Science Career Readiness, and reading opportunities.
The award-winning, NSTA-recommended Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0 continues Project WET's dedication to 21st-century, cutting-edge water education. Correlated to the Common Core Standards and NGSS, the Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0 gives educators of students from kindergarten to 12th grade the tools they need to integrate water education into every school subject. The guide also includes numerous extensions for using the activities in Pre-K environments. Featuring 64 field-tested activities, more than 500 color photographs and illustrations, and useful appendices with information on teaching methods, assessment strategies and more, this guide is an essential classroom tool. The Curriculum & Activity Guide 2.0 won the Gold Medal, 2013 Independent Publisher Book Awards, Education (Workbook / Resource) category and the National Science Teachers Association has selected this book as part of their NSTA Recommends list of books for science educators. This workshop is presented by Mary Ronan and is open to all districts in the Environmental Education and STEM CoSers. |
