After two virtual years, Educator’s Ag Institute returns in 2022 June 26-30 in Centre County. Educator’s Ag Institute provides a unique learning experience for Pre-K-12th formal educators, pre-service teachers and informal community educators.
The Institute provides educational tours to Penn State University’s main campus and local family-run farms where attendees will learn valuable information from those involved in agriculture including farmers, university professors and agricultural leaders. The learning experience also includes hands-on classroom sessions topics including plant and animal production ag, agricultural research, PA state education standards, ag history, and current/future farming trends in the agricultural industry.
Thanks to the efforts of sponsors, interested teachers are responsible for a $100 non-refundable deposit. In addition to tours and presentations, teachers will receive educational resources and approximately 25-28 ACT 48 hours.
