Strategies

1.) Training
We work with the award-winning Project WET education network to train educators at professional development workshops. At these workshops educators are trained to teach wetlands-based science, math, language arts and visual arts lessons in the classroom and the field. 

2.) Materials
We work with formal and non-formal educators, curriculum specialists and wetland experts to develop excellent and effective wetland education materials for educators and students.
