Columbia University: Food Education in the Classroom Microcredential

Teachers College, Columbia University and FoodCorps are excited to launch a six-week, online microcredential to help K-5 educators seamlessly integrate food education into the academic curriculum they're already teaching. Blending science with pedagogy, six of these asynchronous online modules are accepting enrollment.

This course bridges two worlds: Teachers College’s world-class research and pedagogical excellence and FoodCorps’ deep expertise working directly in schools. Together, we recognize that food education is an academic discipline all its own, spanning themes including biology, ecology, environmental science, sociology, history, and more.

Food education is a tool to increase student agency and self-advocacy within the school environment. FoodCorps’ tried-and-true, evidence-based curriculum ensures that your learning isn't just theoretical—it is tested in the field and backed by science, preparing you to bring your students positive, varied, and accessible lessons about food.
