Each year, the Ag in the Classroom program hosts a series of teacher workshops across the state to provide educators with materials needed to integrate agriculture into their existing curriculum. Lesson plans correlated to the Louisiana Benchmarks, hands-on ag-tivities, new resources and ideas are all provided at these comprehensive seminars. Workshops are traditionally held during the months of September and October. Schools and/or school districts may request a workshop customized to meet their needs by contacting us at aitc@lfbf.org.
2010 Workshop Information:
Louisiana Ag in the Classroom is once again holding statewide workshops. Simply select the one that is most convenient for you. You can also help us share the harvest by promoting this opportunity with others at your school.
Workshops are free to educators! This year’s training has something for grade levels PreK through grade 8. These hands-on workshops include many activities to help you integrate agriculture into your curriculum and are correlated to grade-level expectations. All educators in attendance will receive a take-home binder filled with lessons, ag-tivities and other materials. You will also receive a certificate of attendance documenting your professional growth.
Two brand new educational units will be introduced at this year’s workshops. Water is the theme of one of the units. The unit will cover the importance of water to life, water quality, water quantity and agricultural use of water. The second unit that will be presented this year is based around the equine industry. Horses have become a major industry in our state. The Louisiana Farm Bureau has also developed a video to accompany the lessons.
Pre-registration is necessary for all workshops, so select the workshop that is the most convenient for you to attend and register as soon as possible. All workshops begin at 4:00 p.m. with a meal and/or refreshments.
