2010 "Be Ag Wise" Professional Development Workshops
Set aside time on your calendar now to attend one of four workshops that
will be offered in early 2010. These workshops will focus on the
theme "The Farmer Grows a Rainbow" and are designed
especially for agriculture education presenters at the county level.
Workshops are scheduled on Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. and the
remaining class will be
held in Garden
City (Feb 27).
Participants will have the opportunity to
receive training for a variety of Ag-based hands-on learning labs,
receive resource materials, share ideas that work, practice presentation
skills, network with others and to recap success stories from prior Be
Ag Wise trainings.
