GEOG197F - Community and School Garden Workshop for High School Students
Course ID
038751
Course Description
This course supports the participation of high school students in the UA Community School Garden Workshop course. The course is designed to train students to participate in the initiation, maintenance and enhancement of school gardens. Underlying this practical purpose is the goal of employing service learning as a way of promoting self-determination, collective well-being, and learning through community.
The course revolves around consistent and engaged involvement with a Tucson school or community garden as well as its staff, students and/or community members. As a member of a school or community garden team, your tasks may cover the gamut from turning the compost pile to lesson plan development for teaching through the garden, to weeding, planting or organizing work crews. Importantly, as an intern at a community or school garden, learning and teaching will become almost inseparable.
