AG IN THE CLASSROOM
The mission of Agriculture in the Classroom is to
"increase agricultural literacy through K-12 education."
An agriculturally literate person is defined as "one who
understands and can communicate the source and value
of agriculture as it affects quality of life." Agriculture in
the Classroom (AITC) programs seek to improve student
achievement by applying authentic, agricultural-based
content as the context to teach core curriculum concepts
in science, social studies, language arts and nutrition. By
encouraging teachers to embed agriculture into their
classroom, AITC cultivates an understanding and
appreciation of the food and fiber system that we all rely
on every day. AITC is unique within the agricultural
education community as the lead organization to serve
the full spectrum of K-12 formal education.
