These instructional materials were developed as a supplement to the "Alaska State Model Curriculum in Renewable Natural Resources/Agriculture." The topics covered focus on competencies from the curriculum for which materials were not readily available to Alaskan teachers and provide information that may not be sufficiently covered by existing curricula. Each unit begins with a teacher page that includes the competency and tasks from the curriculum. An overview, suggested learning activities, and resources for more information on each topic also are provided. The resources section suggests some materials available for each area. Topics covered include the following: opportunities in outdoor recreation; managing visitor services; second language visitors; using outdoor recreation equipment; working outdoors (backpacking, cross-country skiing, temporary camps); managing flora and fauna; observing wildlife; using first aid and survival skills; managing, maintaining, and protecting the resource; Alaska's park and recreation areas; understanding the importance of park and recreation areas; controversies related to parks and recreational land use in Alaska; employment in wildlife management; firearms; guiding hunters; construction and maintenance; working with wildlife; law enforcement; basic principles of biology; wildlife management; animal characteristics; and wildlife management issues.
