This training is hosted by The Edible Schoolyard Project
This year’s Virtual Summer Training features interactive workshops throughout the month of July, all with a focus on boosting student engagement in gardening and cooking classes.
Who the training is for:
We have designed the virtual summer training to serve educators and program leaders who are seeking to provide joyful and engaging learning experiences in gardening and cooking classes.
All workshops are open to the general public. We are pleased to offer the training at no cost, and there is no cap on the number of attendees who can participate in the workshops.
Participants will come away with:
- Practices for increasing student engagement in gardening and cooking classes.
- Curriculum that integrates academic standards into edible education lessons.
- Approaches for cultivating students’ social and emotional intelligence through gardening and cooking.
- Access to a supportive community of edible education leaders.
How the training will work:
The Virtual Summer Training will feature seven workshops spread across the month of July. Registering for the Virtual Summer Training gives participants access to each workshop.
All workshops will be held over Zoom. A recording of the workshops will be made available after the training is complete. We encourage participants to attend workshops live if at all possible as most of the sessions will be interactive.
