Training Opportunities

Watt Watchers travels across the state spreading the word about energy efficiency being the key to our energy future and how you can make a difference at your school.  Have you attended one of our great workshops?  Perhaps you have not been able to because of travel costs, no money in the budget for a substitute on the day we are in your area, or you just don’t have the time.  Unfortunately, you still have some very important questions you want answered about implementing your Watt Watchers program and making it a successful energy awareness program that saves your school district money and prevents pollution.  So, what is a teacher to do…?

Never fear, Watt Watchers is here for you!  We have designed online web conferences that allow you to log in on your computer and learn about the Watt Watchers of Texas program:  How to Implement a Successful Student-Involved Energy Awareness Program, Using the Traveling Energy Exploration Station, Building a Model Junior Solar Sprint Car, Energy Projects for High School, and more are on their way.

Here are the dates and times for the workshops.  Please email info@wattwatchers.org to register for the workshop.  You must register to receive the login information.

Watt Watchers District Training & Energy Eduction in Texas Training
Watt Watchers of Texas is traveling to your region to deliver great new tools for teaching energy. Teachers will learn about how to start a student energy patrol program at their school, explore energy with the Traveling Energy Exploration Stations, put their minds to work with the Knowledge is Power curriculum supplement and much more.

Knowledge is Power is an energy efficiency curriculum supplement for grades k-12.  The lesson plans on energy conservation and energy efficiency are correlated to the TEKS and include starter activities, extensions, and discussion questions.  The lessons range from school lighting surveys to cost effective buying and appliance surveys.  Knowledge is Power covers a broad subject range including math science, social studies, and language arts.

Every teacher will leave with a copy of the Knowledge is Power curriculum supplement, a Watt Watchers of Texas Kit, and lots of other freebies!
