Please apply to join us in supporting NC full-time K-14 teachers, staff, and administrators to engage in a 5-day innovative agricultural experiential learning program. This training is open to all disciplines. Each group will consist of 15 participants. The program is funded by the USDA Professional Development for Agricultural Literacy (PDAL) Program and led by Dr. Kathleen Liang at NCA&T, offering new knowledge and skills to participants in a dynamic agri-food system interface to enhance everyone's ability and capacity to develop exciting new curricula/activities for our students. You must attend all five days (no exceptions), and you will receive a certificate of completion and $1500* + per diem (depending on the training period and your school calendar year). The application deadline is January 31, 2025.
Our priority is to serve the K-14 schools working with socially disadvantaged and underserved populations in North Carolina, including teachers/staff who work full-time in rural and urban areas and teachers/staff who support students with special needs.
The application is FREE, and program funds will include Lodging, Meals, Materials, and Program Travel covered by the Grant. Childcare, translation, and special accommodations can be arranged.
The training will be held at the Cherry Research Farm, 604 Farm Road, Goldsboro, NC 27530, but some sessions will also be arranged at the local hotel.
