Professional Development

The rangers, partners, and teachers who make up the Parks for Every Classroom (PEC) team invite educators to learn and connect. On and off-site professional development opportunities are offered throughout the year. Topics have included Place-Based Education (PBE) and outdoor classrooms, using art and museum collections in the classroom, and equity-centered climate change education.

Workshops

Women's History: National Parks to Your Classroom

October 11 & 12
9am - 4pm

Explore the breadth of women’s history preserved at the national parks of New Hampshire and Vermont and the ways these often-overlooked stories can be applied across disciplines, topics, and age-levels. Day 1 at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, VT connects women’s history to art, science, and nature at the park dedicated to the history of land conservation. Day 2 of the workshop is held at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, NH where participants will explore both female representation in the sculpture of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the women who made the work possible.

This free workshop is open to all educators including classroom teachers, art educators, and librarians. A stipend of $100 is available after participating in both days of the workshop.

To register, please email newton_rose@nps.gov by October 1, 2024.
