Education & Safety - Food, Land & People
Food, Land and People has 55 Pre-K through 12th grade lessons that are a nationally developed supplementary curriculum. The hands-on lessons are objective in content and promote the development of critical thinking skills so that students can better understand the interrelationships among the environment, agriculture and people of the world.
The FLP lessons were created and written by educators for educators and were rigorously tested and evaluated across the nation.
Participants receive the entire curriculum in CD format, plus North Dakota specific materials and information about available resources.
These lessons are designed to unleash your imagination and creativity.
NDSU offers professional development graduate credit for this program.
