The award-winning 14th Annual WEFTeach™ will present a full-day train-the-trainer teacher’s workshop that shows innovative ways to engage youth in real life water problems and solutions. WEFTEC’s economy of scale will be leveraged to bring the Chicago host community an education that will last for years to come - exposing thousands of students to water environment issues and challenges. |
WEFTeach™ 2008 will invest in area schools by providing two hands-on water education programs: Sewer Science, a mobile mini wastewater treatment plant that challenges students to treat water to the same U.S. EPA standards expected of municipalities; and the 10 Day Water Environment Curriculum, a comprehensive curriculum on the water cycle, wastewater treatment, and the relevance of our water environment.
The preliminary agenda is as follows:

WEFTeach™ is made possible through a partnership of corporations, water agencies, engineering consultants, non-profit community organizations and caring individuals, and has received rave reviews from educators in each of the cities where it has been offered such as Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Orlando, New Orleans, Anaheim, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and San Diego.
WEFTeach™ is designed for local area teachers. Educators outside of the Chicago area will be considered on a first-come, first serve basis as seats are available. Because it is generously sponsored, WEFTeach™ is offered for a nominal fee of $10 and includes materials and a banquet lunch.
