Teachers across northern Michigan have a new tool to help them engage their students in classroom and place-based learning. On September 12, the National Park Service (NPS) launched a new online service for teachers that brings America’s national parks, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (National Lakeshore), into neighborhood classrooms. The new “Teachers” section of the NPS website at www.nps.gov/teachers provides a one-stop shop for curriculum-based lesson plans, traveling trunks, maps, activities, distance learning, and other resources. All of the materials draw from the spectacular natural landscapes and authentic places preserved in America’s national parks.
