Winter Ag Workshop Series

coffee cup and computer

 

We are excited to host the Winter Ag Workshop Series each February! The Winter Ag Workshop Series is an annual series of virtual professional development webinars that help educators learn about agricultural topics you can bring into your classroom. These Zoom workshops are free to attend and available via both “live” and on-demand options. Attendance is open to everyone!

Attendees will be able to earn up to 8 Act 48 hours (up to 2 per session). Don’t miss the chance to learn how to bring agriculture into your classroom right from your computer!

The 2025 series has already passed. But, don’t worry! We look forward to seeing you next year. Please check back in late 2025 for information about the 2026 Winter Ag Workshop Series.
