Educator Professional Development Workshops
Arizona Project WET educator workshops showcase hands-on, interactive activities that activate instruction so that students think deeply about real-world and relevant content and construct their own understanding of big ideas through exploration. Participants gain greater insight into Arizona’s hydrological systems and depart with a deep well of classroom resources, including ready-to-implement lessons.
