Ag Education Week, which will be March 17-21, is a chance to bring agriculture education to elementary classrooms. It will be an all-encompassing learning experience for students, will equip educators with ready-to-use lessons and foster community involvement to create hands-on learning opportunities in agriculture.
Getting the chance to speak with students involved in agriculture programs earlier this year, I saw just how eager students can be for education when it involves vibrant learning experiences that are relevant to the community and the world around them.
Kentucky superintendents heard more information about Agriculture Education Week during the Superintendents Webcast on Feb. 11.
