Yellowstone National Park
Teacher Workshops
A group uses radio-tracking devices to locate wildlife.

Yellowstone National Park and its official education partner, the Yellowstone Association Institute have teamed up to offer a series of teacher workshops in the park. These workshops are outstanding opportunities to draw on the knowledge of experienced field educators and come away with invigorating ideas for any educational setting.

Yellowstone is the classroom where workshop participants are immersed in the dynamic geology, ecology, biology, and human history of this wild landscape. Each workshop is brimming with exciting content, as well as specific interdisciplinary lessons appropriate for both classroom and field settings. Lessons are correlated to state and national education standards. Graduate level credits are available through Colorado State University. Continuing education credits are also available for Wyoming and Montana teachers.
