| Abstract | Children who grow up in poverty are less likely to graduate high school, enter college and find economic stability. REAL School Gardens believes the right educational opportunities -- ones that engage and motive children to learn -- can break this cycle. The REAL School Gardens Program builds learning gardens and offers teacher training to improve academic engagement and performance in low-income elementary schools. Since its launch, REAL School Gardens has partnered with 92 low-income schools, and preliminary findings show that 84% of students experiencing hands-on academic lessons in a REAL School Garden report high levels of engagement, specifically in math in science. Another study demonstrated that REAL School Gardens' partner schools exhibit, on average, standardized science test score pass rates 5.5% higher than non-partner schools. This article explores how programs such as REAL School Gardens can provide low-income families with access to educational enrichment that will help them succeed. (As Provided). |
