Introduction
Our Leadership in Edible Education concentration addresses important societal, cultural, and community issues that arise from multiple food-related injustices. Covering a wide array of topics from the safety, systems, traditions, security, and justice of our food to edible democracy, this concentration will give you a holistic perception of cuisine and how it affects our society. Engage with a wide range of experienced educators and leaders in food-related fields while in diverse, real-world settings.
Edible Education draws from holistic, ecologically interconnected fields and provides pathways for delivering place-based, experiential Education in real-world settings. The Leadership in Edible Education Certificate Program (LEE) is designed for educators and food community professionals interested in making a difference through edible education. This concentration examines and addresses issues and topics across our Northwest bioregion's regional community and school food systems. The LEE program introduces and enculturates students to the spectrum of edible landscapes, programs, and people defining the field of edible education in the Central Puget Sound Region.
We offer a highly placed-based and student-centred approach and operate on a cohort model, attracting a strong, diverse community of learners who current and emerging leaders working across the field of edible education. We use our community as a curriculum for our coursework. Students can engage with a wide range of experienced educators and our regional food community leaders in diverse, authentic school and community settings. Our extended field classes take place in various school, agricultural, community, and commercial sites reflecting best practices throughout the Central Puget Sound region.
