Island Grown Schools begins ten free clinics for teachers next week. The winter farm-to-school afterschool clinics can be taken individually or as a series; it runs Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. Jan. 19 through Feb. 18.

Melinda Rabbitt DeFeo will include in each clinic curriculum resources and how-to advice to help incorporate food and agriculture education into the already-busy classroom day.

More than science and school lunch, farm-to-school lessons address math, social studies, language arts, health and consumer science and industrial arts with real-life issues. The clinics will discuss how to integrate food and agriculture into existing lesson plans and create authentic hands-on experiences that also fulfill teaching goals, using school gardens and Island farms.
