Von der hinteren Coverseite

<div><i>Ripe for Change </i>takes a big-picture view of the school garden movement and the state of garden-based learning in public K-8 education. The book provides a wealth of practical case studies and resources to show how garden-based learning is being systematically implemented in public education, and offers next steps for expanding the use of gardens in schools.<br>  <br> “The benefits of garden-based learning are enormous. <i>Ripe for Change</i> is a powerful tool to enhance learning that every school should utilize.” — <b>Richard Louv,</b> author of <i>Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder</i>, and chairman emeritus of the Children & Nature Network<br>  <br> “School gardens are transformative. They turn asphalt into greenery, cause second-graders to stuff their mouths with spinach, and unlock a child's inherent love of learning. Nobody knows this potential better than CitySprouts founder Jane Hirschi. <i>Ripe for Change</i> is the perfect resource for anyone looking to join the growing school garden movement.” — <b>Curt Ellis,</b> cofounder and CEO, FoodCorps<br>                                                                                                                           <br> “Real-life examples from five urban settings underline the history and importance of learning from the garden as a means to transform public schools. <i>Ripe for Change</i> has ideas and resources for school professionals and educators interested in connecting school gardens with classroom lessons.” — <b>Anupama Joshi,</b> executive director and cofounder of the National Farm to School Network<br>  <br> “In <i>Ripe for Change</i>, Jane Hirschi makes a straightforward, compelling, and uplifting case for the need for outdoor experiences at a time when many teachers and administrators feel they must tether students to desks and do little beyond test preparation. The book’s case studies illustrate that it is indeed possible to engage students in meaningful experiences while simultaneously addressing standards.” — <b>Jeff Winokur,</b> early childhood and elementary science educator, Wheelock College and Education Development Center<br>  <br><b>Jane S. Hirschi </b>is the founding director of CitySprouts in Cambridge and Boston.<br>  <br><b>David Sobel </b>is the director of the Teacher Certification Programs and the Center for Place-Based Education at Antioch University New England.</div>
