2024 NAAE Convention

Do you have students with a disability in your agriculture classes? Are you unsure of how to support them? Would you like to brainstorm with colleagues about a solution? Then this workshop is for you. Participants will be provided with an opportunity to work with colleagues to modify/accommodate an agriculture education lesson plan that can be used in their classroom.

Feedback is vital for students to grow but grading can be a burden. This workshop highlights a strategy that makes group grading a breeze. Through use of a "Timecard", students develop their own priorities depending on the task at hand to self-assess and provide peer feedback for future improvement. Learn how to implement this tool, walking away with the resources needed to make your grade book one less thing to worry about.

Students require effective communication and decision-making skills for all careers across agriculture. This workshop will arm teachers with easy-to-use curriculum that can meet students' needs. Active demonstration of the modules will allow teachers to walk away with access to FREE curriculum. Free curriculum will include downloadable worksheets, handouts, videos, and audio clips to provide students with an immersive learning experience. Workshop participants will learn how to access and utilize curriculum covering topics such as listening effectively, oral and written communication, and social media use, as well as decision-making topics such as generating solutions, taking appropriate action and thinking abstractly. Curriculum is aligned with National FFA strands and standards. This project was supported by USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Grant no. 2019-38414-30265.
