Welcome, New Roots Institute Educators!
You're in the right place.
We’re honored to support the work you’ve been doing to educate and empower your students. The Educated Choices Program (ECP) provides free, science-backed, and engaging educational resources on the impacts of our food system. Just like the New Roots Institute, we’re here to inspire more mindful and sustainable food choices. From in-depth videos to thoughtful discussion prompts and interactive activities, our standards-aligned content is built to work for any class size, subject area, or schedule, online or in person.
Familiar Topics. Fresh Inspiration.
You don’t have to start from scratch. We’ve made sure you’ll still have access to the same topics you’ve been teaching, covering the issues your students already connect with. Because we’re always updating and expanding our content, you’ll also discover new perspectives, timely examples, and engaging activities to keep lessons fresh and exciting.
