Teacher Resources We believe that the stewardship of our national parks and public lands lies with today's students. It is imperative that we provoke in them today a sense of wonder and ownership of such places, in the hope that they will take this into the future. We hope that you will find that by using Yosemite National Park as an extension of your classroom, the science of the natural world will come alive. |

Department of the Interior The Education Office in Yosemite National Park is finding ways to better meet the needs of teachers who value Yosemite as an outdoor classroom. We created this site to meet an increasing number of requests from teachers for a field trip guide that allows them to be on their own in Yosemite. However, you can use this site to teach about Yosemite whether you plan to visit the park or not. “Visiting the Park” will help you prepare for your trip. If you are not visiting the park, you can find out how to use this web site as a learning experience for your class. The National Park Service is committed to education, and it is the goal of the Education Office in Yosemite National Park to follow through on this commitment. We believe in the idea of Yosemite as a classroom and encourage every opportunity for partnership between the National Park Service and teachers. We will continue to improve our educational offerings, finding better ways to work together to stimulate students minds to the wonders of Yosemite. It is our hope that students at all age levels will be able to make inner connections between Yosemite and their own values and personal experiences. This enables students to feel ownership of this wonderful place that belongs to all of us.
