Yosemite National Park offers a dynamic array of Parks As Classooms programs. Program topics include Black Bears, Geology, Giant Sequoias, Climate Change, Watershed Science, Wilderness, Indian Cultural Programs, Pioneer History, Wildlife, Park Management and much more! These programs are delivered in the Park by an Education Ranger and program length is generally one to two hours. The programs are designed to help teachers meet state or environmental education teaching standards while providing students with an engaging learning experience. Students have the opportunity to experience nature as the ultimate classroom. All programs are delivered with age-appropriate teaching techniques and goals in mind. Rangers communicate with teachers prior to the visit in order to assess teaching needs and goals. This is an excellent way to engage your students.
