The environment provides endless opportunities for authentic learning experiences that support your entire curriculum. When students learn through systemic and well-designed environmental education, they build background content knowledge to support literacy, experience authentic, hands-on learning that advances STEM and promotes career readiness.

Recognizing the complexities of implementing student-driven, authentic, and locally relevant environmental education that meets academic goals,we will explore the Meaningful Watershed Education Experience (MWEE). This well-established framework provides the structure and resources to support integrating environmental education in schools that aligns to PA STEELS standards, including the Environmental Literacy and Sustainability domain.

This workshop will include an outdoor field experience- participants should dress appropriately! The MWEE team will follow up with site-specific details prior to the workshop date.

Intended Audience: Formal and Informal Educators, Grades 3-12

Continuing Education: 6 Act 48 or Workshop Hours *If participants would like to receive their MWEE Ambassador certificate another 8 Act 48 credits will be awarded once the MWEE 101 course is completed, more information will be provided to all enrolled participants.
