Since 2006 STEP Elementary teacher candidates have had the unique opportunity to work in various learning gardens in the Bay Area once a quarter. Teacher candidates discuss ways to incorporate a study of healthy eating and living habits into the curriculum and consider how a life science garden might contribute to these outcomes. In a previous partnership with local restaurateur, Jesse Cool, the One Pot, No Recipe, 10 Ingredients was created to help teacher candidates be flexible with their own personal cooking habits and providing similar opportunities for the students in their classrooms.
