Teacher Workshops
We offer training in two curriculum packages--Major Rivers and Project WET (Water Education for Teachers). Teachers can earn TEA-approved continuing education credit (SBEC, Gifted & Talented, and Environmental Education hours). Teachers receive materials and free resource kits to implement the curriculum. Workshops can be tailored to a school district's time requirements and student grade levels. |
