Education World - Downshifting: Teaching (for Understanding) in a Lower Gear

The Edible Schoolyard, Martin Luther King Junior Middle School, Berkeley CA

"The Edible Schoolyard, in collaboration with Martin Luther King Junior Middle School, provides urban public school students with a one-acre organic garden and a kitchen classroom. Using food systems as a unifying concept, students learn how to grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious seasonal produce. Experiences in the kitchen and garden foster a better understanding of how the natural world sustains us, and promote the environmental and social well being of our school community."
