Urban Farm DB summary
This project aimed to design a language-focused curriculum for English Language Learner (ELL) students, delivered through hands-on learning in a school garden. By synthesizing research on ELL, science, and outdoor education, eight best practices were identified to guide the curriculum's development. Findings indicated that garden-based education can effectively promote language development and improve student academics for ELLs when these strategies are applied.
