Then Ag In the Classroom is for you!
For a week during the summer, teachers from all over the state visit farms and agricultural industries to learn how food moves from the source to the consumer. In addition, the program emphasizes the relationship between the food we eat and our environment. |
Teachers are able to use the information they've received to integrate agriculture and information about the earth's natural resources into their curriculum. They are able to use their personal experiences to explain to their students how Pennsylvania's largest industry affects each of their lives everyday.
AITC will prepare you to bring agriculture to life in your classroom and across your curriculum. It is a standards-based program that makes real connections
Classroom experiements give teachers curriculum and hands-on experience to take share with their students once they return to their own classrooms. |
