This course is designed for teachers in the BC school system to explore practical ways to integrate concepts related to food production and consumption, food safety, agricultural issues, and sustainability across the curriculum at all grade levels. Through active participation, field trips, guest speakers, video presentations, and the like, participants will expand their knowledge of agriculture and food concepts and issues and reflect on their own values and orientations to the topic. Ways to incorporate this new knowledge into existing courses will be explored with ethical defensibility being the guiding principle. The goal is to produce curriculum projects that can be implemented in schools or other settings.
The BC AITC Summer Institute is held in partnership with the UBC's Faculty of Education Office of External Programs. The next course, titled EDCP 362, will be held from July 23-27, 2012, in Abbotsford, BC.
Information about registration with UBC will not be available until the summer school calendar is posted sometime in late February. We will provide the link to their site at that time.
Watch this BC AITC page for this year's course outline to be posted soon!
