Project WET (Water
Education for Teachers) is a nonprofit water education
program and publisher for educators and young people ages 5-18.
The program facilitates and promotes awareness, appreciation,
knowledge, and stewardship of water resources through the
dissemination of classroom-ready teaching aids and the
establishment of internationally sponsored Project WET programs.
Our Mission
To Reach Children,
Parents, Educators, and Communities of the World with Water
Education
Project WET believes:
- Water moves through living and
nonliving systems and binds them together in a complex web
of life.
- Water of sufficient quality and
quantity is important for all water users (energy producers,
farmers and ranchers, fish and wildlife, manufacturers,
recreationists, rural and urban dwellers).
- Wise water management is crucial
for providing tomorrow's children with social and economic
stability in a healthy environment.
- Awareness of and respect for water
resources can encourage a personal, lifelong commitment of
responsibility and positive community participation.
Instruction and Delivery Network
Project WET believes in training. People are introduced to
Project WET materials at workshops conducted by an international
network of facilitators. A Project WET Workshop is an exciting,
engaging and powerful learning experience, where educators of
all disciplines receive the latest Project WET materials, learn
to teach water education activities and walk away inspired.
Instructional
Approach
Project WET materials are interdisciplinary,
hands-on, minds-on teaching tools for educators
teaching students ages 5-18 and beyond. All
materials are designed to help educators and
students engage and explore the world of water
while complementing existing curricula and
meeting curriculum objectives and educational
standards. All materials are appropriate for use
in formal and non-formal education settings.
