AMP selected for teacher training program
For the second year in a row, American Memorial Park was one of 34 parks from across the National Park Service to be selected to participate in the Teacher Ranger Teacher Program.
The purpose of the program is to provide teachers an opportunity to learn about NPS educational resources and themes while earning continuing education graduate credits through a partnership between the NPS and the University of Colorado-Denver.
Participating teachers will spend several weeks in an immersive, on-site experience at American Memorial Park, developing and implementing a community program as well as completing three graduate credit hours of coursework in Experiential Learning online. Upon completion of the program, teachers will receive a $3,000 stipend from the university.
Applications for the program can be picked up at American Memorial Park Visitor Center or by email. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2017. To request an application, or to learn more about this program, contact Ranger Brooke Nevitt at: brooke_nevitt@nps.gov or Pacific Historic Park education partner Jovannalyn Mafnas at 234-7207 x 2020 or jmafnas@pacifichistoricparks.org.
