Mathematics and Science is undergoing a new phase of innovation and transformation with the creation of STEM-focused interdisciplinary. Our goal is to provide hands-on STEM project-based learning experiences in which students use 21st-century skills collaboratively to solve real problems in their communities.

​

Through this process, our urban, rural, and low-income communities learn essential 21st-century skills while at the same time exceeding the standards as identified in the CCSS for mathematics and ELA and the Common Core State Standards. Our goal is to ensure that all the communities we serve are prepared to enter a career pathway in agroforestry gardens. For our communities to be successful, we provide the following STEM principles:

One of Seed2Fork’s hallmarks of Arts Integration is that it is grounded in connected standards. When Debra is creating or teaching a lesson, she asks: What standards am I addressing in both the content and the arts areas? She believes that if you can’t identify both, it’s not true arts integration.

​

When you’re working on an arts integration lesson, you’ll feel like the line between the content and the arts is blurred.
That’s a good thing! In arts integration, the arts serve as an avenue through which students apply and connect previously taught content. The arts are not just servicing the content—instead, both the content area and the arts area are interconnected.

​

In an arts integration lesson, the final assessment reflects growth in both the content area and the arts area that were taught. I’m looking for growth in those areas, not mastery. Only the arts teachers can evaluate an arts standard for mastery, just as only the classroom/content teachers can evaluate a content standard for mastery. But anyone can measure growth in both areas.
