The activities develop critical thinking skills, and have indoor or outdoor application. PWA also enables teachers to gain and use other aquatic environmental education teacher resource materials. Teachers develop an aquatic environmental action activity designed and appropriate for grade level application. It has 40 easily-adaptable lesson plans. Cross reference indexes by specific topics, subjects, and grade level, facilitate integrating PWA into Framework objectives and personal teaching programs.
Lessons contain background content and pages to copy for student use.
Participants also receive a text for additional background information. Project Wild is a prerequisite for enrolling in PWA, or teachers may substitute attendance at a PW Workshop. Coursework may be completed during the school year or the summer.
