Professional Development

Teacher-Ranger-Teachers

Hey teachers, spend the summer working as a Teacher-Ranger alongside the park rangers at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. In April, during National Park Week, you'll wear your Teacher-Ranger uniform to school, discuss your summer at the park, and engage students and other teachers in activities that relate to the park.

Teacher Workshops

Shoulder-to-shoulder with private and public school teachers, nature center instructors, resources agency educators, youth organization leaders, and all interested volunteers we experiment with activities for use in a classroom or in the field. We will discuss educational methods, tools, and resources that will be of value to any adult wishing to learn to teach about our environment.
