The
Mission Statement of the Interpretive Development Program
Interpretive Development Program (IDP) standards, philosophies,
and best practices are based on the knowledge that people
care for what they first care about. The IDP enables
all NPS employees to connect people to parks so that
parks are preserved and future generations may make
their own meaningful resource connections. The IDP maintains
professional standards by providing a benchmark curriculum
and developmental opportunities, integrating best practices
with agency management, and operating a peer review
certification program. |
