Workshops
Florida Agriculture in the Classroom has trained facilitators around the state who can conduct a workshop in your area. Teachers in kindergarten through 12th grade who teach any subject and agriculture industry volunteers interested educating students about Florida agriculture are invited to attend these trainings, which last up to five or six hours and include lessons from Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s two core curricula, “Project Food, Land and People” and “Keeping Florida Green.” Both curricula are correlated to Sunshine State Standards, and the workshops would train you on how to present them to students.
The workshops and materials are available free of charge or for a nominal fee to anyone who attends. Teachers who participate are eligible for professional development points. If you are interested in having a workshop scheduled in your area, please contact Florida Agriculture in the Classroom Executive Director Lisa Gaskalla by emailing gaskalla@ufl.edu.
Florida Agriculture in the Classroom holds local workshops throughout the year.
