Teachers, non-formal educators and anyone interested in helping students build strong connections among food, land and people are invited to attend a professional development workshop on June 14 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Mill Spring Agricultural & Community Development Center.
Project Food, Land & People (FLP) is a national curriculum based on science and social sciences designed to promote approaches to learning that help people better understand the interrelationships among agriculture, the environment and people. The hands-on, interdisciplinary lessons cover subjects ranging from environmental science and stewardship; to human populations, health, and land use issues for grades pre-K through grade 12.
Workshop participants will receive a copy of the FLP “Resources for Learning” Curriculum Guide to take home at the end of the workshop. The workshop qualifies for N.C. Environmental Education Certificate Criteria 1 and 1 CEU credit with homework.
The Mill Spring Agricultural & Community Development Center is located at 156 School Rd. in Mill Spring.
