For Teachers

Glacier National Park offers curriculum-based programs de­signed to merge your educational goals and objectives with the nationally significant natural and cultural resources found in the park. Field trips, traveling trunks, curriculum materials, and teacher workshops are available. The 2011-2012 "Educational Opportunities in Glacier" is a 2-page handout in pdf format that you can view, download and print.

We are continually adding information to our website about each of these opportunities. Please check back for updates, read Laura's Blog, or e-mail Glacier's Education Specialist for information about materials and programs.

• To provide a curriculum-based, outdoor education experience that is age appropriate and supplements classroom learning objectives.
