Dear Ag Teachers,

I hope you are doing well. I am sharing an exciting opportunity that could greatly benefit you and your students: the upcoming Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) institutes hosted by the University of Georgia Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication. We will be hosting one in-person [two days] Ag Xplore Middle School (AgX) institute and two completely virtual [eight days synchronous online] Animal Science- Animal (ASA) institutes. Please see the flyer attached below for the dates of each institute.

The CASE curriculum institutes offer extensive professional development opportunities designed to enhance your teaching skills and enrich your classroom experience through hands-on, inquiry-based instruction. Participating in these institutes will give you valuable insights, resources, and strategies to engage your students in agricultural education effectively. Once certified, you will have access to the curriculum and updates to the curriculum for the life of your career. You will have the chance to collaborate with fellow educators, learn from experienced CASE lead teachers, and explore teaching methodologies.

If you want to learn more, we are hosting a CASE Information Session on Thursday, April 4th, at 4:00 PM via Zoom. The meeting code to join is 706 542 3191 (https://zoom.us/j/7065423191). We can answer questions, advise on getting administrator approval, and have current Georgia agriculture CASE-certified teachers share their experiences.

Thank you for being so dedicated to all your students enrolled in agricultural education. Go Dawgs!

Eric
