Teacher Ranger Teacher Program

archived

The goals of the project is to increase opportunities for outdoor recreational and educational activities for students in grades K through 12 by providing a professional development training program for their teachers. Through training teachers about the educational resources and programs available through the National Park Service, more students reap benefits from the funding invested as each teacher impacts up to 300 students in the classroom each year following participation in the program. Also, teachers are more likely to engage their students in outdoor recreational and educational programs at National Park Service sites if they are knowledgeable and feel competent in the themes and resources available through the National Park Service.
