Alignment to State Academic Standards Alignment to Professional Dispositions of Learners Resources 1 WMG Docent Training Program Through the WMG Docent Program, the mission is to empower the volunteers to become ambassadors of watershed management, water conservation, and community involvement. Participants are taught how to apply the skills in water harvesting, river restoration, and environmental education, which are core components of WMG's work. Docents participate in community events, providing tour guides, organizing outreach, and providing educational resources, consequently resulting in water resources conservation in Arizona. These activities provide learners with hands-on learning experiences, mentorship of the WMG staff, and opportunities for personal conservation actions (Watershed Management Group Inc, n.d.). Arizona Science Standards Grade K-1 Standard Code: 1.E1U1.5 Students understand that some of Earth's resources are renewable, including water, and some resources are not renewable. Environmental Stewardship: The students who actively help conservation programs and environmental sustainability and advocate for water security will certainly develop environmental care and responsibility.
