Are you looking for experiential learning approaches that engage even those hard to reach students? Florida Agriculture in the Classroom is the answer. It offers curricula free of charge to teachers who attend training workshops. The curricula, "Project Food, Land and People" for kindergarten through 12th grade and "Keeping Florida Green" for middle and high school, is interdisciplinary, interactive, correlated to Sunshine State Standards, includes practice pre- and post-tests tailored to the FCAT and provides a summer workshop to train teachers in the curricula.
