The Water Education Foundation is the California coordinator of Project WET (Water Education for Teachers), an international, award-winning nonprofit water education program and publisher.

California Project WET works with water agencies, water research scientists, professors of teacher education and after-school program directors to provide high-quality professional development trainings for K-12 educators working in and out of the classroom.

The Foundation’s Project WET program coordinates workshops across California on topics including water conservation, stormwater run-off, water quality, climate change, groundwater and watershed management. Click here to see upcoming workshops for educators..

Upcoming special workshops will be addressing best practices of environmental education and stewardship, floodplain ecology, and gaining greater understanding of the links between inland water issues and impacts to the ocean ecosystems. Click here for more information.

Project WET activities are correlated to Common Core, Next Generation Science and NOAA Ocean Literacy Standards, and the process has begun to update Project WET alignments to the current California history/social science framework and California environmental principals and concepts.
