The Perkins consortium AG Science teachers will be meeting on Oct. 30. The October PD Opportunities document has been updated.
Oct. 30th: Perkins AG Science CTE Teachers: 9:00-3:00 ECBOCES West Training Room Presenters: Mitzi Swiatkowski, Federal Programs
DESCRIPTION: For Perkins Ag Science CTE Teachers: Please join us on October 30 from 9-3 in the EC BOCES west training room to discuss the 24-25 grant activities and requirements, plan the spring meeting, and consider Ag conference (PD) possibilities (which includes finalizing topics, presenters, site, dates and resources) to implement once grant is approved. Ag Conference Description: Ag Science teachers plan to organize an Agriculture Science Conference to provide targeted professional development focusing on developing "Intro to Ag" and Power Structure skills. This conference will cover areas such as plumbing and soldering, electrical work, and concrete. Each area will address safety, maintenance tips, repairs, and classroom implementation. The teachers have identified potential presenters and resources for each topic. Recognizing that this comprehensive training cannot be completed in a single year, they plan to address one or two topics each year over the next several years. Furthermore, they have differentiated the activities to further teacher knowledge and skills addressing the needs of teachers who are just starting out and veterans of the field.
