In this workshop, the presenters and participants will take a deep dive into the world of academic standards in edible education. What are academic standards and why do they exist? How do we keep hands-on cooking and gardening activities at the center of student experience when designing standards-aligned lessons? And which standards most easily lend themselves to edible education contexts? Through a combination of lecture and structured independent work time, you’ll leave this workshop with a better understanding of how to use academic standards to support – rather than inhibit – deep student engagement, and concrete tools for designing awesome, hands-on, standards-aligned kitchen and garden lessons.

Presenter: Molly Rose-Williams, Curriculum Designer
