Shenandoah National Park offers free ranger-guided, curriculum-based programs for grades 2-5 as well as Middle School and High School that directly support the Virginia Science Standards of Learning and the National Science Education Standards. Teachers are required to attend a free teacher workshop prior to bringing their students on a program. At the workshop, teachers receive pre-visit and post-visit activities to be used in the classroom and learn how best to incorporate the park program into their classroom lesson plans. Park rangers lead the in-park programs, which generally last two hours. Group size is limited to 60 students for geology, 45 students for the middle and high school programs, and 80 students for all other programs. Prior registration is required and space is limited. Programs are normally offered two times a year: in the spring (April-June) and in the fall (September-November) |
