Teacher Ranger Teacher

 

 

Teachers come learn with us at ABLI as a TRT!

Ready for a one of a kind PD opportunity at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park? Find out more about how you can get involved with us as a Teacher Ranger Teacher.

The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher (TRT) program is an extended professional development opportunity for educators from K-12 schools to learn about the resources and educational materials available through the National Park Service (NPS). Teachers spend the summer alongside Park Rangers - learning and performing various tasks depending on their interests and the needs of the park that focus on education programs of the NPS.

TRT's spend most of their time engaging with park education projects, learning about park resources, developing lesson plans to use in their classrooms and in the park with students. Their experience will also include exposure to a variety of work performed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park by employees from many career fields.

The TRT program is a summer multi-week program (exact dates can be tailored for each TRT). All teachers receive CEU credits and stipend for participating in the program. Teachers must complete course work to receive a stipend.
