Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Agriculture in the Classroom program has awarded $10,000 to educators and agriculture literacy programs.
Grant dollars will support innovative core curricula initiatives that incorporate agricultural concepts while helping students meet academic standards and develop career-readiness skills.
“Agricultural literacy allows educators to embed cross-curricular connections that incorporate social studies, science, health and nutrition, math, art and more while helping students to build awareness and understanding of the many ways their lives are impacted by agriculture every single day,” says Wisconsin Agriculture in the Classroom Coordinator Beth Schaefer. “We are excited to support Wisconsin educators and students as they engage in project-based and place-based learning initiatives that support agricultural literacy and local curriculum.”
Groups, schools, and educators can apply for up to $500 as part of the Agriculture in the Classroom ‘Ag in ALL Classrooms’ grant program.
