Our students are ready to learn how the world works - and how to take care of it. Food, Land, and People gives them the opportunity to learn. And gives educators the means to give dynamic instruction in an easy, hands-on and fun way to learn how to make a difference. This course is designed to provide meaningful activities, instructional strategies, materials, and research to enhance the teaching skills of PreK-12th grade educators in subjects related to food, land and people. The participants will have educational tools to help their students better understand the interdependence of agriculture, the environment, and human needs through lessons in multiple curriculum areas: science, health, consumer education, mathematics, social studies, geography, technology, and more. This course is designed to provide educators with resource information and education materials that are supplementary and across the curriculum in PreK-12. Resources for the course will be two CD’s of lessons titled “Resources for Learning” and “Eat Well, Be Well,” and will include additional books, kits, maps, PowerPoints and other materials provided during the workshop.
