Applications are now available for this year’s “Awesome Agriculture Week”, targeted toward preschool to high school educators who want to expand their classroom curriculum in the AFNR (Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources) pathway. During the 4-day long session, attendees will travel to several locations around the area including farms and agribusinesses in Rock Island, Whiteside, Lee, Bureau, Marshall, and Putnam Counties to gain valuable in-person professional development experiences directly correlated to the curriculum being provided. This year’s dates for the session are June 10-13, 2024.
This course focuses on integrating the personal experiences gained along with resources and hands-on activities about agriculture and the environment into the existing classroom curriculum. 2 Graduate Credits from the University of St. Francis or Professional Development Hours (approximately 30) can be earned upon successful completion of the course.
Participants can expect in-class instruction about agriculture and the entire food and fiber system, consumer issues relating to agriculture, teaching innovations and resources available to them including the Ag in the Classroom curriculum; field trips to farms or other production enterprises and/or agribusinesses; lab activities relating to science and agriculture in the classroom; free teaching materials and more.
The cost for the class is $100 and enrollment is limited to 30 teachers. If a teacher is a Farm Bureau member or signs up as a member, the class costs only $80. Applications are available at the Bureau County Farm Bureau at 875-6468. Completed applications were due May 24th.
