Acadia Teacher Fellow

Acadia National Park, Maine

Acadia National Park is recruiting six classroom teachers to spend the summer learning about the park’s diverse natural and cultural resources, and ways to protect them. Teachers will work on Mount Desert Island, Winter Harbor or Calais. All full-time, K-12 public school teachers are invited to apply. Priority is given to classroom teachers from public schools with students who are underrepresented, economically disadvantaged, or have limited access to parks. Preference is also given to Maine schools and to teachers not requiring housing. 

More information and the application form can be found at

http://www.nps.gov/acad/learn/education/development/teacher-fellowship.htm. 

The deadline for applying is March 1st. 

 

For six weeks during the summer, teacher fellows will interact with park visitors on public programs, along carriage roads and on hiking trails. They will attend ranger-led interpretive programs, be given place-based training, participate in citizen science activities, interact with park professionals and researchers, and more.  Teacher fellows will be asked to create a lesson plan related to Acadia’s resources to take back to their classroom and share with other educators.

 

Acadia Teacher Fellows receive weekly stipends, extensive teaching resources, and shared park housing as available. Additional benefits include a free class field trip to a national park site near their school, plus assistance with designing an outdoor classroom at their home school.
