Teachers Learn From Hydrologists at Professional Conference Workshop

Broad smiles and happy faces were the end result of Arizona Project WET (APW)'s recent Arizona Hydrological Society (AHS) Symposium 2017 Teacher Workshop, sponsored by the AHS Foundation. The theme of this year's AHS Symposium was "How to Keep the Water Flowing?" which focused on the timely topic of Colorado River shortage sharing.

 

At the workshop, Flagstaff educators had a unique opportunity to learn from a variety of hydrology professionals from around the state. After attending symposium speaker sessions, teachers were given resources developed by APW to help incorporate this new knowledge into their classrooms. One teacher said, "A lot of needed background and in-depth knowledge was included, which was so valuable."

 

AHS, which is member supported, has cared enough about education to fund this teacher workshop for 12 years! This amazing partner sees the value of including K-12 education in the effort to keep the water flowing in our state.
