More than 82 agricultural teachers will share their stories this summer as part of the National Teachers Ambassadors for FFA program. The program started in 2016 and gives teachers the tools they need to talk about FFA and ag education with their communities. Teachers selected for the program will receive training this June and July to learn and collaborate on educational resources.
Similar to last year, this year’s training will be virtual. National FFA Organization chief program officer Christine White says, “Through this program, we equip teachers with the tools they need to be successful in not only developing future leaders but also in telling their stories.” Teachers in the program will work with educators from all over the U.S. to share ideas. The program ambassadors will serve as a voice of the organization to teachers across the country.
