Changing the world, one student at a time.
Our efforts focus around providing resources for others to help identify future teachers and support current agriculture teachers.
MN Teach Ag offers opportunities for aspiring agriculture teachers, information and resources to help prospective teachers identify the right path for them and supporting events for students to develop valuable skills for their future career. We also support current agricultural educators through connections to professional development workshops, classroom grant opportunities, and mentoring programs.
Why is it important to have agriculture teachers?
Our world revolves around agriculture, food and natural resources. Agriculture teachers are important because they help students prepare for the future, develop skills and learn about the world around them. They help students understand where the food, fiber and fuel that run our world comes from. It also helps students develop leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, and entrepreneurial skills. There is room for everyone.
The need for agriculture teachers is still in high demand and we need the next generation of educators to inspire our students to find their future career paths.
