Living Classroom offers docent training
The Living Classroom program seeks volunteers to teach nature-based lessons and help care for local schools’ gardens.
Docent trainings are scheduled 9 a.m. to noon Monday, March 11 and March 18 in the Los Altos School District’s iLearn Studio, 201 Covington Road. Anyone unable to attend the trainings may inquire about apprentice-style training.
The Living Classroom program provides standard-aligned garden-based lessons in science, math and social studies. Trained volunteer docents provide lessons in grades TK-6 and help care for the school gardens.
No experience is necessary; Living Classroom representatives will teach volunteers everything they need to know.
