Hello Ziva,
I just asked another KidsGardening Connector who has sold curriculum. The suggestion is to return the ball in the court of the school, asking about budget, which grade level, content etc.. This way you get an idea what they are thinking and then you can counter with what feels comfortable for you.
Other possibilities are to use a grant for writing the curriculum and giving it for free (which wouldn't help you in this case, but maybe in the future).
Her organization created and sold curriculum for Farmer's Market Programs at $50 each. They also worked with big organizations, for which they created lessons which are cross curricular and have several options for content. These lessons and the rites to these lessons were sold for $1000.
We hope that all helps you.

Subject: Selling My Curriculum
I teach gardening at three schools within my school district. I was approached by a different school (within my district) who is reviving their garden, but at this point is not in the position to hire me. They asked me how much I would be willing to sell my gardening curriculum (that I developed for the other schools) to them for.
Have any of you been approached with this same question and if so, did you sell your curriculum and how much did you charge?
