Environmental Education in Tennessee
     
Project WET Tennessee

WET stands for Water Education for Teachers. Project WET provides formal and nonformal educators with curriculum, materials, and training in water education for students K-12. We conduct teacher workshops, develop educational materials, and support environmental education in Tennessee. Project WET Tennessee is housed in the Center of Excellence for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University but workshops take place at various locations. We are affiliated with Project WET USA and Project WET International Foundation.
