DescREAL School Gardens provides multi-year professional development programs for elementary school teachers to help them integrate gardens into everyday academic instruction. In addition to enhancing Math and Language Arts instruction with hands-on outdoor lessons, we boost Science and Nutrition instruction, which is often neglected in elementary education. In FY 2017 we: - Trained 1,377 teachers - Impacted 62,562 students daily To date weve seen the following measures of success: - 94% of teachers reported that the REAL School Gardens program increased student engagement. - The REAL School Gardens program increases teacher effectiveness and job satisfaction. - More than 90% of educators agreed that the training connected directly with the state curriculum standards and that they would be able to apply what they learned right away. - After completing just one year of the REAL School Gardens program, more than half the teachers use the learning garden so much, it's like a second classroom. Once the professional development program concludes, school partners may participate in our Evergreen Program and receive ongoing training and support. REAL School Gardens is also building a Digital Education Platform, a mobile-friendly, how-to teacher professional development site featuring step-by-step lesson plans and model teaching videos that teachers can access anytime during the partnership.Desc

DescREAL School Gardens designs and builds state-of-the-art outdoor classrooms on low-income school campuses. We partner with corporations and foundations to fund the construction of the space, and develop partnerships with schools, parents, and the local community to ensure our spaces are properly maintained for years to come. We create outdoor classrooms with two important steps: Community Design - REAL School Gardens Landscape Architects work with school staff, parents, community members, our funding partners, and most importantly the students themselves to design a learning garden that's functional, beautiful, and tailored to each school's specific needs. The Big Dig! - Once the design is finalized, it's time to build the learning garden during our one-day Big Dig event. On the day of the Big Dig, between 100-300 volunteers including our funding partners, kids, their parents and teachers work together to install the learning garden. Not only is the Big Dig a fun and fulfilling day of volunteerism for employees, but funding partners use the events to boost their CSR goals, improve their media relations, and create amazing imagery for social media and annual reports. Schools district leaders love the way these high-energy barn-raising style events focus attention on large educational, health, and environmental initiatives, and spotlight the great work Title 1 schools do to help low-income children succeed. In FY 2017 we: - Built 13 outdoor classrooms - Enhanced 11 learning gardens - Served 110 school partnersDesc

DescTo promote the creation of school gardens nationwide and increase their use for academic instruction, we work to raise the general publics awareness around the importance and effectiveness of daily hands-on experiential learning and real-world, outdoor teaching. By attending conferences and publishing articles in both education and school garden-focused outlets, we ensure that these larger conversations are informed by our findings, experiences, and best-practices. To help scale REAL School Gardens impact nation-wide, we will be forming partnerships with other education and school-garden focused organizations that are already serving low-income schools. Since many of these existing groups are focused on the environment and nutrition, we are also developing complementary curriculum resources and programming to help embed nutrition education and environmental literacy into daily academic lessons. Our thought leadership in this space will encourage school districts to invest more in professional development and campus infrastructure to improve experiential outdoor teaching.Desc
