How can National parks enhance the learning experience?
Share Your Ideas

Do you use Your National Parks to enrigh basic curriculum, either through homeschool or the classroom? Would you like to share those ideas with other teachers who are looking for a way to make their work more relevant to the students?

Park-based learning is powerful - and transformative. People more readily retain information, grasp meanings, and adopt new behaviors and values when directly involved with cultural and natural heritage resources and sites.

Post your good ideas here, or borrow those posted by other teachers.

The National Park Service is committed to extend its leadership in education, to build on what is in place and to pursue new relationships and opportunities to make your national parks even more meaningful in the life of the nation.
