Our take

The Foundation's programs cover California water topics, including the Delta, drought, and groundwater law, and add California-focused teacher professional development. This page describes the programs at a high level rather than posting grade-specific lesson plans, so a teacher will need to contact the Foundation for enrollment and cost details on workshops.
