Discussion Forum for Module 1
Discussion Forum for Module 1
After completing the assigned readings and reviewing the resources at "Grow Your Program: Research That Supports Our Work" from the Cornell Garden-Based Learning website, answer the following questions in your initial post response, and discuss with your classmates:
1) In your current/future educational programming efforts, which of these outcomes are highest priority with your audience? Are there additional outcomes of high interest?
Nutrition Awareness
Environmental Awareness
Learning Achievements
Life Skills
Health and Wellness
Community Building and Social Connections
2) Considering the readings and resources, what strategies or techniques did you find that could help achieve your desired outcomes?
3) In one or two sentences of your own words, describe the key elements of a successful garden program.
To keep the discussion interactive and engaging for all, think of ways you can advance the discussion and ask questions of each other that will deepen your understanding of the topic. Remember to keep your initial postings brief and to the point. If you make reference to any reading or resource (and you should!) please note the article, URL or other links to where you found this information.
Post your initial discussion response by Monday. This forum will remain open for discussion until the last day of the module, so check back whenever you sign onto the course, and respond to any classmates that have replied to your initial post. Respond to at least 2 classmate's posts by Friday.
Have any questions? You can always talk with the instructor if needed, or post a question in the section call "Ask a Question".
When you are ready to go on, your next assignment is an Introduction to your Portfolio Project.
