What is a Project WET Educator?
Project WET educators are individuals who have completed a full workshop or in-class unit on the Project WET Activity Guide 2.0. During training, educators learn how to use the guide and are trained in multiple activities as well as online resources. Educators can then use any activities from the guide to teach about water topics in and out of the classroom.
Educators trained in the original Project WET White Book wishing to use the Activity Guide 2.0 must take a refresher course to obtain the new book. The Activity Guide 2.0 includes new activities, old favorites and a code granting online access to a wealth of information on the
Project WET Portal for educators. The Project WET Foundation currently offers a condensed update by video through the Project WET Store online at
Project WET Program 2.0 Online Refresher Course.
