Ag in the Classroom (AITC) is a unique educational program that is dedicated to fostering an understanding for the importance of agriculture in North Carolina. Discover how to weave the power of agriculture into everyday PreK-12 lessons in science, math, social studies, and language arts. This workshop consists of indoor AITC activities and two local farm tours: Shelton Farms – one of the oldest continuously operating family farms in western North Carolina, and Walnut Creek Farm – a majestic Scottish Highland Cattle experience. Educators will see ag in action and learn how to use the AITC program to meet the educational needs of their students through NC Standard Course of Study-based agriculture-focused curricula, workshops, grants, and ag literacy books. AITC is affiliated with NC Farm Bureau.
This program will start at a field site and with the afternoon portion being in the conference area.
