Our Watery World: Project WET Social Studies Educator Workshop. Marriott West Hotel, Madison, WI. March 12, noon to 4pm. Is it possible to pull people and place apart? At their roots, environmental issues are social issues and the other way around. Come learn how to bring the many concerns surrounding water into social studies lesson plans using Project WET. Project WET is an interdisciplinary K-12 conservation and environmental education program with over 90 activities focused on water. In this four hour workshop, participants will be introduced to the Project WET activity guide, engage in at least five activities, and have time to share ideas on how to use Project WET in their classrooms. Participants will leave the workshop with their own Project WET guides and a collection of educational resources from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that complement Project WET activities. No matter what specific subject or grade you teach, this teacher-tested program will enhance and diversify your teaching while meeting academic standards and helping students understand their inseparable ties to our water-y world. Cost: $20.00 (discounts available to participants registered for the 2010 WCSS Conference). Contact: Amalia Baldwin: amalia.baldwin@wisconsin.gov or (608) 264-8930 by March 8.
