This National Park Service (NPS) grant aims to replicate the successful Trail to Every Classroom (TTEC) program for the Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT). Named iTREC!, this professional development initiative will engage approximately 15 teachers from communities along the Trail during the 2010/2011 school year through a series of workshops. This grant is for fostering community awareness of the INHT, connecting rural and urban communities, actively engaging youth in outdoor experiences, building lifelong stewards of Alaska’s public lands and cultural heritage, and exposing community youth to career opportunities. The recipient will manage participant recruitment, travel, and workshop logistics, while NPS staff will assist with planning, materials, and evaluation.
