Integrating Farm to School into the Classroom with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards is a professional development course designed for classroom teachers who are looking to deepen or expand their curriculum and project-based learning opportunities related to Farm to School including: nutrition, food systems, classroom cooking, and garden-based education. Based on the feedback from past classes, this course has been developed with the needs of teachers in mind. Designed to be dynamic and democratic, this emergent course will offer teachers the time and space to focus on projects of their choice, while also providing opportunities to learn from colleagues and others leaders in the field of Farm to School. Interactive class sessions will feature a blend of individual work time, connections to standards, peer to peer feedback, resource sharing, hands-on food preparation, and large and small group discussions.
Classes will be on Wednesdays from 4:30-7:30pm
