Applying Antiracism and Abolitionist Teaching in Garden-based Learning is a 2-part interactive webinar series that will support educators in applying these principles within their teaching and student learning.

Part one focused on defining what abolitionist teaching means and identifying ways that antiracism can be centered in planning, instruction, and assessment. (A recording of part one is available.)

In part two we will do a deeper dive into what abolitionist garden-based education looks like in practice and highlight effective strategies for programmatic and organizational change. Come ready to participate!
