Educational and Professional Development Opportunities

Since 1916, the National Park Service is entrusted to preserve and protect our nation's parks. One of our primary missions is Education, and this is highlighted in our mission statement below:

NPS Mission Statement: The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.

Here at Shiloh National Military Park and the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, we offer a wide variety of educational and professional developmental opportunities.

Our parks are historic parks, but we also provide science programs (STEM learning), and literature.

If you have any questions about these opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact our Educational Coordinator.

Education:

Our program is curriculum-based and is designed to address educational needs at all levels. Our program objectives are:

1) Introduce educators to the “Parks as Classrooms” concept

2) Increase awareness of park resources for educators

3) Help bring subjects to life using artifacts, storytelling, and other hands-on learning opportunities

4) Provide Field Trip ideas and other educational opportunities, developed within associated Local, State, and National Education Standards

5) Strengthen our existing ties, and develop new relationships with schools
