Ulsan Office of Education Supports Strengthening Teacher Competencies for School Garden Cultivation
The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education supports the enhancement of teacher capabilities to effectively create, maintain, and manage school gardens.
Ulsan Office of Education conducted a ‘School Garden Cultivation Job Training’ every Saturday throughout June at the Buk-gu Urban Farmer School for 30 school garden staff and administrators.
A school garden refers to a space where students cultivate or farm plants or crops, or raise insects, using school land, buildings, or containers for learning and experiential purposes.
Since 2020, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has been promoting the ‘School Garden Operation School’ project to utilize school spaces as nature-friendly ecological environments.
To revitalize this project, the Office of Education conducted training in collaboration with the Ulsan Urban Agriculture Network, combining theory and practice necessary for operating school gardens.
This training was conducted in a practical format so that teachers could operate the gardens with students by leveraging the school’s conditions and characteristics, covering various garden designs, cultivation techniques for different crops, and eco-friendly pest and disease control methods.
In particular, participants planted native tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, and more in an open-field frame garden on the first day, learning management methods according to the growth process of the cultivated crops throughout the training period.
