Description: The Chez Panisse Foundation presents the second annual Edible Schoolyard Academy: Creating Garden and Kitchen Classrooms in Every Community. The academies are designed to support emerging garden and kitchen programs nationwide, and to strengthen resource and information sharing among them. Led by Edible Schoolyard staff and guest presenters, the academies provide a two-day Edible Education immersion. Through hands-on activities, presentations, guided discussion, breakout sessions, and student-led tours, participants will learn to use tools for teaching Edible Education—an integrated approach to education in the garden, kitchen, and classroom.

 

Specific topics covered include curriculum integration, class scheduling, managing volunteers, program administration, and funding strategies. Participants will receive Chez Panisse Foundation publications, The Garden and Kitchen Companions, and will leave the academy with tools for developing programs in their own communities.
