Innovative Programming
This year we planned and executed, with the help of a Professional Development grant, a travelling workshop that brought pre-service and in-service educators to three different farms on the theme of Farm Economics. Then we brought them back and they worked collaboratively with other teachers to create lessons based on their experience.
