Dear Educators and School Gardeners, Edible Schoolyard NYC is delighted to announce the launch of Edible Academy, a series of professional development workshops coming soon to our Brooklyn Showcase School. You are invited to experience our interdisciplinary, standards-based, K through 5 curriculum in action. In each workshop, we will model instruction in the garden and the kitchen, offer practical tips on starting and maintaining school gardens, suggest ways to encourage community involvement, and guide participants in adapting our lessons to the unique circumstances of their own schools. All participants will receive 36 fully developed fall and winter lessons covering kindergarten through fifth grade, as well as sample curriculum and recipes from our kitchen classrooms. Workshops will take place from 9am to 3pm at P.S. 216, 350 Avenue X, in Brooklyn.
