Science,
Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) in Water Education
This strand will focus on increasing student success in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics and increase educators' capacity to
include STEM subjects in their curricula. Of particular interest are
proposals that address integration of water-related topics and the
implementation of STEM education in a manner that reflects the
interdependence of the four STEM subjects, as well as proposals that focus on
partnerships involving school districts, community colleges, four-year
institutions, and business and industry to provide a comprehensive
community-based approach to STEM and water education.
Pedagogy & Water Education
The Pedagogy and Water Education Strand provides the opportunity to examine
best practices for integrating water-related environmental education into the
PreK-16 educational system at the local, state and federal levels and
improving environ- mental literacy across the nation.
Action Education(tm) & Water Education
What are the most successful methods for addressing the most important
water challenges of the day with water education and action education? This
strand includes a wide array of topics and strategies such as: Watersheds,
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in water, Risk (drought and
floods), Weather and climate change, Ground water, Water and energy, Storm
water and Water conservation.
Technology & Other Water Education Topics
Converging web, mobile, and social technologies have generated a level of
communication and interaction never before possible. The Technology in Water
Education strand seeks to explore the transformational potential that these
innovations hold for education and training, as well as share current
research and best practices related to these developments.
