The first annual water education workshop at Shadowcliff in Grand Lake, Colorado laid the groundwork for many more teacher watershed education workshops in the coming years. Educators participating included early childhood  to high school teachers as well as  non-formal educators. The successful partnership between Rotary Club of Grand Lake, Shadowcliff, Outstanding Grand Lake, Grand Environmental Services, and the Grand Lake Chamber made this Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) workshop for Grand County educators and others from Winter Park and Golden Colorado. 
Teachers responded from the workshop on how they plan to change their instructional practices based on what they learned at the workshop:
  • I will get more in depth on Watershed and vocabulary. 
  • I will provide more hands-on science based activities.
  • I will be creating more hands on learning opportunities. 
  • I now have many more "tools in my toolbox". I'm excited to try new things! 
  • I will make my lessons more interactive. 
  • I have been looking to incorporating more project-based learning. 
  • I found the activities adaptable to meet grade level expectations and standards.

Overall feedback from the Project WET workshop: 
  • It was great!!! 
  • Really like the new 2.0 version of the Book.  Love the pics and layout.
  • Great workshop! Looking forward to diving deeper into the Project WET book!
  • I loved it!

We are already working on creating the 2018 Grand Lake Headwaters Watershed Education Workshop. Sign up here to get information about upcoming workshop details.
