  • Administering the Teaching with Historic Places program with its series of on-line lesson plan series and the Discover Our Shared Heritage travel itineraries.
  • Working with NPS cultural resources programs and other organizations and partners inside and outside of the NPS to develop, better coordinate, and extend the reach of education, training, and public awareness activities relating to cultural resources and the programs of the National Park Service.
