Arborversity Curriculum Feedback (Personal Protective Equipment)

Following the curriculum workshops, we have stepped into the next phase of the Arborversity Horticulture Training Program: crafting the curriculum framework! As we begin developing this curriculum, we are seeking your feedback to ensure that the content we develop accurately represents the needs of public garden professionals. Thank you!

Please refer to this list of learning objectives related to using personal protective equipment (also repeated in the questions, below). To develop these learning objectives, we referred to information provided in the workshops regarding common tasks, challenges, and existing training at public gardens and arboreta, as well as suggestions from AI. Once finalized, we will use these learning objectives to guide the development of other curriculum content and materials, ensuring that what we create is relevant and applicable to public garden professionals.
