Ag in the Classroom
National Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) seeks to improve agricultural literacy — awareness, knowledge, and appreciation — among PreK-12 teachers and their students.
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.
