After a decade of exclusively serving NPS-school-community teams across Region 1, Park for Every Classroom (PEC) is launching a nationwide program focused on equity-centered climate change education. This pilot program, supported by WASO IE&V and co-facilitated by Shelburne Farms and the NPS Stewardship Institute, serves to complement and advance climate change response work across the NPS by engaging park partners and resources to develop teacher professional development aimed at cultivating student stewardship. Eight parks will be selected to participate in the national pilot.
