WHAT YOU CAN DO
Together, we can create opportunities for children to build knowledge, skills, and meaningful connections through food.
At Pilot Light, we partner with educators to bring the power of food into everyday classroom learning. By making food relevant, exciting, and meaningful to PreK-12 students during the school day, Pilot Light programs empower them to become active and informed members of the food system.
We believe that investing in teacher professional development, fostering in-community partnerships, and providing materials and resources are all key components to building teacher capacity to deliver integrated Food Education.
Professional Leadership Development
Pilot Light’s Food Educator professional development is centered around building teacher capacity to develop and deliver food-based education. Participants receive Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs)* and meet and collaborate with a community of educators who are passionate about Food Education.
