Invitations are sent from the state to each new instructor in advance of a conference scheduled in his or her state.
New teachers appreciate the assistance, encouragement and support they receive.
That's why several national and state agricultural education organizations are working together to provide training for instructors who have been in the classroom five years or less. Administrators' participation at this conference increases understanding of agricultural education and recruits a partner into the program. The New Teacher and Administrator Conference is the first step in building a positive relationship between the instructor and administrator. Agricultural education, in many cases, is THE vital link between agriculture and the secondary education community. Keeping agriculture's best instructors in the classroom is critical to this link.
