Take advantage of the teacher development opportunities in your national parks! There's no better way to bring math, science and history into real life than to experience them in action. Many of these workshops are designed to help teachers use park resources in the classroom, or to prepare classes for a park visit. Most workshops are accredited and can be taken for college credit, and are structured to meet the needs of today's teacher - teaching the standards while making the material engaging and relevant.

In addition, please take a minuet to read about Teacher-to-Ranger-to-Teacher - a growing program that allows teachers to be park rangers for the summer, then bring what they learned back into the classroom.
