War in the Pacific National Historical Park and partner Pacific Historic Parks is proud to announce a professional development workshop, entitled, “Teaching Methods: Parks as Classrooms.” The workshop will engage teachers to use locations in Guam as a resource for studying a variety of subjects, such as local and national history, marine biology, botany, culture, and geography. The workshop will take place on November 16 and 17, 2017 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at the T. Stell Newman Visitor Center in Sumay.
