Water Education Program for Teachers
Offered at Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center in Oden

A workshop on water education for educators will be offered at the Department of Natural Resources' Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center on Saturday, May 6. Maureen Jacobs, DNR interpreter for the visitor center, will be the workshop facilitator for Project W.E.T., Water Education for Teachers.

The Michigan Fisheries Visitor Center is located on US Highway 31 in Oden, about five miles east of Petoskey. The program is a six-hour workshop and will begin at 9 a.m.

Since 1991, Project W.E.T. has served new and veteran instructors seeking new ideas to infuse into their curricula. Project W.E.T. provides learning activities, programs and ideas for teachers to use in their classrooms. Participants will be introduced to water education involving a variety of teaching strategies for students in first through eighth grade. 

The cost of the workshop is $25, which includes a 517-page Project W.E.T. Curriculum and Activity Guide given to all participants who complete the course.

Preregistration is required as space is limited. Refreshments and lunch will be served.
 
The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural resources for current and future generations.
