Story by Deanna Reid, master’s student
Twenty-three educators from 11 states were on campus at the end of June for eight days of hands-on Curriculum for Agricultural Science Educator (CASE) professional development training.
The Introduction to Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) course covers topics including agricultural education, communication methods, natural resources, plants, animals and mechanics.
Participants spent time in a classroom learning about basic provisions, a “measure me” lab demonstrating proper measurement and safety procedures and buffering soil. All educators left the training with CASE-AFNR certifications.
