Ranger and students
The Teacher to Ranger to Teacher program provide opportunities for teachers to have well rounded experiences in national parks.  Teachers develop lesson plans based on these experiences for use in their classroom.  The program focuses on teachers from schools that have under-served student populations, who have no experience with national parks, or have little opportunity to explore the relevance these areas can have in their lives.

Did You Know?
Before the battle at Fort Necessity, George Washington wrote that the meadow would be “a charming field for an Encounter”. After the skirmish at Jumonville Glen he wrote there was “something charming in sound” of bullets. After his defeat at Fort Necessity he never again refers to war as charming.
