Watershed Education (WE) is an inquiry-based, interdisciplinary curriculum for students in grades 6 -12. Developed by the DCNR Bureau of State Parks, WE helps educators utilize local natural resources as a valuable teaching tool. By blending hands-on  classroom and field investigations modeled on professional research methodologies, students participate in data collection and analysis, community networking and partnerships, stewardship and service learning activities. WE promotes in-depth, multi-modal learning and understanding of water resources while encouraging students to examine their watershed holistically.

• Hands-on Field Investigations
• Addresses Environment & Ecology, Geography, History, STEM and additional PDE Standards
• Interdisciplinary lessons
• Journaling and portfolio development

Educators attending this workshop will receive the Bureau of State Parks award-winning Watershed Education curriculum and additional resource materials. Participating schools will have the opportunity to share data and experiences through the WE database and networking opportunities.
