The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher program is an extended professional development opportunity for K-12 schoolteachers to learn about the resources and educational materials available through the National Park Service.   

Teachers participating in the program at Indiana Dunes National Park will have the opportunity to work in the park and learn about park resources, participate in a webinar on lesson planning using the park as a classroom, develop at least one lesson to be used in their school, assist the park with an educational project, and increase their understanding of place-based learning. The Teacher Ranger Teacher opportunity will require a total of 240 hours participation time from June 12 through July 30. 

The University of Denver, partner in this project, will pay a cash stipend to participants who pass all requirements. All questions can be submitted to Indiana Dunes National Park’s Education Specialist, Christine Gerlach at Christine_gerlach@nps.gov or 219-395-1885. An application to apply for this opportunity can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/indu/learn/education/development/trt.htm.  Or an application request can be sent directly to Ms. Gerlach. The application deadline is May 24.
