⭐ Today`s Fellow Friday spotlight is on: Ms. Audra J.!
🌱 Ms. Audra is a member of the first "Feeding Futures" 2-year teaching cohort, a group of educators dedicated to bringing food and agriculture education to students across the state of Illinois. Currently, the Feeding Futures fellows are working on designing a new curriculum grounded in Pilot Light`s Food Education Standards that will offer students a comprehensive understanding of food, agriculture, and career pathways in these fields.
📣More About Ms. Audra:
Ms. Audra J. has been teaching math and science for more than 21 years. She is excited to work with Feeding Futures. Ms. Audra was introduced to this program by Feeding Futures Manager Ms. Wenona Woolfolk, who also shares a love of science. She recognizes the importance of teaching scholars about starting early with recognizing the benefits of taking care of your body and what you put into it. She also thinks that students need a connection as to how food is produced and how food connects us all. She believes that nutrition is not separated by culture or region or race.
👏Thanks for being an important part of Pilot Light, Ms. Audra J.!
