Hard Bargain Farm Outreach

AFF’s Climbing the Environmental Education Ladder program is a three-tiered approach to scaffold and cultivate sustainable environmental education within local schools.

Tier I: Hands-on, place-based outdoor field studies are supplemented with classroom preparation and reflection activities (pre- and post-field study) for a complete Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) for Maryland and District of Columbia elementary school students.

Tier II: Summer Environmental Science Teacher Institutes provide one or two-week professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators using AFF's hands-on, inquiry-based, student-centered curriculum, correlated to state and local standards.

Tier III: School Partnerships build on the work started in Tiers I and II to integrate environmental education in schools across grade levels and subject areas, resulting in the use of schoolyards as outdoor classrooms and student-led environmental action projects.
