3 “P” Credit Course* This hybrid course provides an introduction to the science and art of botany and horticulture using plants and gardens both at Brooklyn Botanic Garden and in the community. An understanding of the value of plants in natural and human history will complement an inquiry-based approach to learning how plants are built, how they work, and how they interact with the living and nonliving components of the diverse environments they inhabit. Emphasis is placed on experiential, authentic learning that participants can readily bring back to their own classroom settings to engage students with diverse learning styles and cultural backgrounds. Teachers will be asked to reflect on their own backgrounds and how they may affect the classroom learning environment, both in person and online. Teachers will be asked to plan inclusive learning experiences that center marginalized voices and diverse perspectives, offer student choice, and incorporate multiple modes of assessment. Notes: Exact dates: August 19, 20, 21, 22 & 23. An additional 7.5 hours of asynchronous coursework will be assigned throughout the course. Fees include curriculum materials and resources, plants and potting-up supplies, and access to the Garden. In order to receive a refund, you must cancel your enrollment at least five business days prior to the class start date. You will be charged a $15 cancellation fee. No Exceptions.
