Minnesota educators looking for summer professional development opportunities are encouraged to register for Minnesota Ag in the Classroom’s (MAITC) Summer Teacher Tours. The tours, taking place this June and July, will provide participants with the chance to acquire new agricultural skills and knowledge to bring back to their classrooms.
“Whether you consider yourself an ag novice or expert, our Summer Teacher Tours offer unique hands-on experiences to learn more about this important Minnesota industry,” said MAITC education specialist Sue Knott. “Each tour highlights different examples of agriculture in action that educators can use to help teach their students core concepts in science, social studies, language arts, math, and nutrition in fresh ways.”
This summer’s tours include:
Tours are open to any Minnesota K-12 educator, regardless of previous agriculture knowledge or experience. The deadline to register is June 1, 2024, though early bird pricing is currently available through April 15.
For further details on each tour and to register, visit MAITC’s Summer Teacher Tour web page. MAITC is a partnership between the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the MAITC Foundation that seeks to increase agricultural literacy through K-12 education.
