Trail To Every Classroom: Building a Network of Partners

Experienced TTEC teachers have found that building a strong local network of partners, colleagues, and allies is critical to successful implementation of place-based service learning.  This summer we are offering an institute designed for this purpose. The TTECwork summer seminar will be held July 21-23 near the A.T. in Shenandoah National Park, based out of Front Royal, VA. Open to teams of three from any interested TTEC school districts, the institute offers a range of strong opportunities for bringing TTEC to the next level in your community.

Teams include:

Core elements of the TTEC model, such as developing compelling academic projects focused on meaningful service and exploration of the A.T., building successful school-community partnerships, and strengthening buy-in among other faculty, school administrators, parents, Trail Club volunteers and community members.
