Login | WelcomeThe Acadia Learning project supports and publishes research by high school and middle school students. Students work directly with research scientists engaged in work at Acadia National Park and its surrounding ecosystem. The student research grows out of research at Acadia and other park and forest agencies. The work by the students adds to related research at Acadia. The students do their field work in the areas surrounding their own schools. The work is integrated with science and math programs in the schools, and is managed by classroom teachers.

The Acadia Learning project is managed by Acadia Partners for Science and Learning and is funded in part by the Maine Department of Education through a Math and Science Partnership grant. Available Courses
This course is designed for high school science teachers for the Acadia Partners Learning Program A program involving teachers and students across the State of Maine in a study of temperature change, relating local records and patterns to global climate change. A Partnership for the Lewiston/Auburn region that will use forests as a basis for (1) professional development activities that will facilitate improved teaching to better meet the revised Maine Learning Results, and (2) improving scientific and mathematic abilities of students such that their performance in tests and success after graduation are improved. From June 25 thru 28, middle and high schools teachers came to Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) and participated in the Schoodic Summer Academy, sponsored by Acadia Partners for Science and Learning and the University of Maine. The focus of the academy was on the natural ecosystems and cultural resources of Acadia National Park, which included in-depth field studies, ecosystem analysis, and creative pedagogy for science and math teachers. This program was supported by a grant through the Maine Department of Education Math/Science partnership program. News and Announcements(No news has been posted yet)
