Every summer Cane River Creole National Historic Park offers the opportunity for one teacher to come work with us as a Teacher Ranger Teacher.
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher (TRT) program is an extended professional development opportunity for educators from K-12 schools to learn about the resources and educational materials available through the National Park Service (NPS). Teachers spend the summer working as Park Rangers-learning and performing various tasks depending on their interests and the needs of the park that focus on education programs of the NPS.
TRT's spend most of their time engaging with park education projects, learning about park resources, developing lesson plans to use in their classrooms and in the park with students. Their experience will also include exposure to a variety of work performed in Cane River National Historical Park by employees from many career fields.
The TRT program is an 8-week program from June through July (dates can be tailored for each TRT). All teachers receive CEU credits and stipend for participating in the program. Teachers must complete coursework to receive a stipend.
Visit the TRT website to learn more about the TRT program.
