Posted: 06.15.2010

Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom and University of Wisconsin- River Falls are offering a variety of teacher training options this summer. The variety reflects the needs of teachers, home school parents, 4-H and extension staff, and pre-service students. The summer teacher and volunteer training offers opportunities for participants to choose from graduate credits, undergraduate credits, or in-service options.  

The training will offer options at Farm Technology Days, Wisconsin State Fair, farm tours and classroom settings. The dates, educational day descriptions and option packages are available at www.wisagclassroom.org.
