Ag in the Classroom is an annual 3-day conference where teachers and education professionals can learn about agriculture, and be provided with tools, tricks, and curriculum which will enable them to bring agriculture into their classrooms. When we help our teachers introduce the next generation to the importance of agriculture, we all will benefit for generations to come. 2019's Ag in the Classroom Conference will be held October 17-19 in Sonoma County. Click here for all the details.
The 2018 Ag In The Classroom conference was held September 27-29 in Palm Springs. In 2018, we were able to help four local teachers participate in the conference:
- Stacy Hunter and Susan Camarena, teachers at Huemene Elementary School
- Steve Alnwick, an Inclusion Teacher who works with disabled students (his wife was able to go too!)
- Maria Chambers, a teacher at Sonshine Preschool in Ventura
