We are looking for educators and MGV to take an online course that teaches the benefits of garden-based learning, and through successful completion of course learning activities, provides the steps in building a portfolio and toolbox of program planning, lesson plans, deliverables, and strategies for program sustainability. Students will need to allocate approximately 5-8 hours a week on course assignments.

Course Description

This 6-week course (7.5 weeks including the introductory week and a break week) focuses on the foundations and benefits of garden-based learning, and provides the tools, resources, and collaborative support needed to plan, organize and develop a successful and sustainable gardening program that fits your organization’s needs. 

 

Using a logic model approach to program development, this course is perfect for educators, program staff, volunteers, volunteer coordinators or anyone wanting to develop a community garden, school garden, or garden-based learning program for youth, adults, or people with disabilities in their local community, school, Cooperative Extension, or after-school program.

The course is non-credit, and we present a certificate of completion to all those who participate in the whole course. 

 

Upon completion of the course, participants will:

  • Understand the foundations of garden-based learning and its benefits.

  • Explore and identify available resources, case studies, research, and successful school and community-based garden programs.

  • Utilize logic models to identify program inputs, activities, and desired outcomes.

  • Use real world tools to practice and develop a garden-based learning program in alignment with program needs.

  • Build a toolbox of resources and portfolio of program planning, deliverables, and strategies for sustainability.

  • Utilize strategies to organize a community of volunteers and identify leadership.

 

Please reach out to Donna Cooke (dmc72@cornell.edu), who will be leading the course, with questions.

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
