Description: The American River Conservancy invites area educators to join us for a fun, hands-on professional development experience to celebrate California Biodiversity Week and kick-off the new school year!

Come learn some easy to follow, inexpensive, hands-on activities about water that you can implement into your everyday curriculum. These activities blend science, language arts, math, STEM, and SEL components into fun and engaging activities that you can do inside or outside of your classroom. 

We will explore water concepts and skills that will include watersheds and other Earth systems; water conservation and quality; water in language arts and history; analyzing and interpreting water data and other science & engineering practices.

Nic and Megan will give you the skills you need to be confident in your delivery of these activities while also giving you the background knowledge you need to feel confident in your delivery. Nic has 13 years of classroom experience at the high school level and has used Project WET activities in many of his lessons. Megan has 8 years of experience working with students of all ages in an outdoor education setting. 

Completion of this workshop will allow you to purchase 0.6 CEU credit through CSU San Marcos for just $20! Your $40 registration fee includes coffee, lunch and your own copy of the new Project WET Foundations of Water Education guide.
