Denver Urban Gardens Continuing Ed Opportunity
Join the DUG education team this spring to experience how the school garden can be used as an educational tool to meet the 2020 Colorado Academic Standards, best practices for outdoor classroom management, and how the garden encourages students to explore, ask questions and connect to the natural world around them. We are excited to announce that educators who attend all of the spring workshops can earn a 0.5 graduate-level relicensure credit through the Colorado School of Mines Teacher Enhancement program.
