In the past 7 years UNe has <br />supported water education in Colo~o by providing the state coordination for Project <br />WET (Water Education for TeacherS) curriculum. Project WET has been incorporated <br />into our K-12 educator training progfam and we recommend it as a high quality program <br />with a record of success. While we do strongly support water education and have <br />committed resources to provide coora;nation of volunteers and dissemination of Project <br />WET materials, we are limited in resburces to provide the support for a statewide ( <br />program of water education that m~s the ongoing educational requirements for . <br />experienced teachers. <br /> <br />In that light and as the current stattmijde coordinator for Project WET, 1 do support the <br />request by Colorado Watershed NetWork for funding to hire a water education <br />coordinator to work directly with teabhers throughout the state. Specifically, I am <br />committing a component of my servi~ time over the next year to 'provide pre-service <br />(student) teacher coordination as a ~ch for funding from the Water Efficiency Grant <br />Program. . <br /> <br />Please lend your support to this wort~while effort to provide support for a framework of <br />water education for teachers and stu~ents from elementary through high school. <br /> <br />Cordially, <br /> <br />!t2:;:~ <br /> <br />uniV=Northem Colorado <br />School ofBiologicaJ Sciences <br /> <br />UNIVWITY ofNollTHEIlN COLOIlADO <br />Ross H...u..
