IT’S BACK AND IN PERSON! MARYLAND AG IN THE CLASSROOM EDUCATOR WORKSHOP SERIES

Are you an educator that works with elementary or middle school students?
Want to increase your students’ engagement and excitement about learning? 

Come learn how to teach your existing curriculum using agriculture as the context for learning. Our goal is to introduce you to Maryland agriculture and show you how easy it is to infuse agriculture into your existing classroom curriculum…even if you know nothing about it! Utilizing standards aligned, hands-on, agriculture-based lessons to coordinate with on-the-farm experiences, these trainings not only allow educators to personally experience learning through agriculture but provide the resources necessary for them to take it directly back into their classrooms.
