Teach Ag Photo CaptionsTEACH-AG-DAY-LIVE-CELEBRATION -- Each year the National Teach Ag Campaign celebrates the vast accomplishments and positive impact agriculture teachers have every day through National Teach Ag Day. The celebration includes highlights and discussion from future and current agriculture teachers and other stakeholders in the agricultural education profession.

TECHNOLOGY-INTEGRATION -- Agriculture teachers use technology in their classrooms to help their students develop problem solving skills, track data, and strenghten their understanding of the global impact of agriculture. Especially in a time of virtual learning, it is critical for agriculture teachers to stay relevant in terms of technology use for their students, in order to help fill the agriculture industry pipeline with knowledgeable and competent employees.

TEACH-AG-DAY-FUTURE-AGRISCIENCE-TEACHER-SYMPOSIUM -- As part of the National Teach Ag Day celebration, preservice agriculture teachers from across the nation are selected to participate in the Future Agriscience Teacher (FAST) Symposium. During the symposium, current agriculture teachers involved in the National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy (NATAA), as well as Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) certified teachers provide the preservice teachers with professional development about enhancing science in their agricultural curriculum while using inquiry-based classroom instruction.

EXPERIENTIAL-LEARNING -- As part of the three-circle model of instruction, experiential learning is a key opportunity for agriculture teachers to provide their students with higher-level instruction. Students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to various scenarios -- their afterschool jobs, a school beehive operation, the agriculture program’s greenhouse or farm, and so many other opportunities. Oftentimes, experiential learning is referred to as a student’s Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE).

AGRICULTURAL-EDUCATION-FOR-ALL -- Agricultural Education for All is a joint partnership of the National Association of Agricultural Educators and the National FFA Organization with the goal of ensuring all in agricultural education feel welcome, safe and celebrated as their authentic selves. The National Teach Ag Campaign provides opportunities for agriculture teachers to engage in healthy discussions about inclusion, diversity, and equity in the classroom.

FUTURE-AGRICULTURE-TEACHER-SIGNING-EVENTS -- The National Teach Ag Ambassador program facilitates Teach Ag Signing Events. During these events, high school students who have decided to pursue a degree in agricultural education are able to sign a letter of intent and meet with representatives from their future universities. Teach Ag Signing Events have become a staple at state and university level events.
