Overview
‘National Parks’ and protected areas around the world serve as classrooms at large, providing spaces and places that are conducive to enriching education for students. No matter the subject matter, whether physical, environmental, social, cultural, or technical, our parks provide case studies and applied lessons that educators should consider taking advantage of. By integrating parks and protected areas into our curriculum, whether by assignment, field trip, or digital medium, we can open our student’s eyes to the world and ground our lessons in ways that students will remember and carry on with them. Geography as the discipline of synthesis is particularly well-suited to benefit from this interdisciplinary setting opportunity, although all disciplines can benefit as well.
