Innovative Models for Agriculture and Food Systems Literacy in BC Secondary Schools

This webinar series is designed to inspire and empower educators who would like to incorporate more agriculture and food systems education into their classroom or school. Through conversations and presentations with educators who have firsthand experience creating Board Authority Authorized (BAA) certified courses and/or integrating agriculture concepts into existing curriculum, the series will meet educators where they are and foster connections to support the growth of agriculture education programs across BC.

Who should attend?

Educators, administrators, teachers, community partners and anyone interested in strengthening the connection between agriculture, food systems, and secondary schools in BC. Throughout the series, participants will learn from educators who have successfully created BAA certified courses related to agriculture and found innovative ways to embed agriculture into the existing curriculum.
