How do they design lesson sequences intentionally to align with seasons, connect with standards, and optimize learning? Different programs require different lessons sequences to reflect their unique, local context; their program goals; and their students. In other words, there is no one-size-fits-all garden curriculum. In this Webinar, we will share a roadmap for developing an exceptional lesson sequence and highlight promising practices and stellar examples from SGSOs across the country along the way. We’ll share lesson planning tools; exemplary lesson sequences organized around different goals; resources for making lessons culturally responsive; and more!
