NAAE

Inclusion and Diversity Task Force
The National Association of Agricultural Educators, the National FFA Organization and Foundation, and the National Teach Ag Campaign are collaboratively seeking passionate agricultural education professionals, NAAE staff members, and National FFA staff members who are interested in assisting the organizations with addressing the inclusion and diversity needs of students, teachers, state staff, teacher educators, and stakeholders in the agricultural education community. Task force members will be responsible for identifying engagement opportunities, collaborative partnerships and inclusion, and diversity strategies that will contribute to the goal of ensuring agriculture classrooms reflect the schools and communities in which they reside. More details as well as submission information may be found at https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4400583/2018-Inclusion-and-Diversity-Task-Force-Interest-Survey.

We are selecting presenters to deliver workshops at the 91st National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis Oct. 24 - 27. Workshop presenters can present to students and/or teachers. Presenters will deliver at least one workshop but can present the same workshop up to three times. The curriculum of the workshop is to be created by the presenter, and content must align with at least one component of the FFA mission or be relevant to the industry of agriculture. Workshops are available Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during the week of convention.

Submitted workshop applications are selected based on the quality of content, and we’re open to unique workshop topics. Need ideas for topics? At last year’s national convention and expo, students said they’d like to see workshops about motivating chapter members; plants; animals; new technology; how to obtain and engage sponsors; diversity; money and time management; benefits of FFA membership; leadership training; and self-empowerment. Teachers said they would like to see workshops on classroom resources; STEM; classroom management; animal science/animal care; utilizing technology in the classroom; aquaculture/natural resources; lesson plan ideas; connecting with different learning levels; agricultural mechanics; career and leadership development events; tips on recruiting alumni members; agribusiness; and grant writing.

CAST

 

 

 

 

This unwanted summer guest comes in many disguises.

 

 

Friday, June 22, 2018: Updates on tariffs, labeling, and the Farm Bill. Pollinator Week caused quite the buzz, gene editing is trending, and a lively group of young farmers sing their parody “I’ve Got No Grain in Dry Places.” These and many more ag/science stories in this week’s edition.

The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology's (CAST) weekly online newsletter, Friday Notes, is available free due to a grant from Land O’Lakes.
