Growing a Sustainable Future

Published September 2023

Tools for this Unit:

Right Plant/Right Place.

If you know the conditions (shade, water etc.) you can find the right plant to thrive in these conditions. Each student has prior knowledge and experiences which they will apply to their work creating evidence to demonstrate a competency or even mastery of a skill. I use this metaphor to bridge to the idea of “Right Strategy/Right Outcome.” Someone who is using recipes to share One-Health food stories might need a notebook, or computer, an outline, or a to do list. Someone making a video about farming practices in North Philadelphia urban farms might need to create a storyboard. Each project requires the appropriate tools and organization, and each student has a slightly different portfolio.
