The Watershed Institute is proud to offer educator workshops throughout the year. Professional development services empower teachers to engage a wide range of learners.
Workshops promote best science practices; use of hands-on, inquiry-based activities; and provide a deeper understanding of our environment while encompassing the Next Generation Science Standards.
Looking for a way to integrate project-based learning aligned with NJ Student Learning Standards for Science into your classroom? Teachers will become certified in Project WET and go home with lesson plans and activities focused on water quality, water conservation and wildlife habitat. Teachers will learn how their school can receive River-Friendly certification.
River Friendly Academy is free! A limited number of stipends will be available.

In The Watershed Institute’s StreamWatch Schools Summer Academy, you will learn how to gather and analyze water quality data. Then, during the school year, Watershed staff will help you and your class collect data on a local waterway, and you’ll get to see how it compares with other participating schools. The experience will be hands-on, informative, and fun for you and your students.

In addition to our summer Watershed Science Teacher Academy in partnership with Princeton University, professional development includes pre-service workshops at local Universities and in-service workshops with area school districts.
Additional workshops include environmental explorations for preschool educators and non-formal educators including scout leaders and parents of homeschooled children. Workshop facilitators are staff at The Watershed Institute and are registered by the New Jersey Department of Education as certified providers of professional development.
