MADISON – Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Ag in the Classroom program is offering grants up to $100 to pre-school through high school teachers, in a public or private school system, to fund projects that promote agricultural literacy in the classroom. Grants can be used for innovative lessons, activities, resources, presen-tations, school fairs and other creative ideas. Projects should focus on integrating agriculture into a variety of curriculum areas.
A judging committee will review all funding requests that are properly completed and postmarked by the Jan. 15 deadline. Applications can be downloaded from wisagclassroom.org (Teachers Information tab) and must be typed. Items considered when evaluating the applications include quality and uniqueness of the agricultural lesson, activity or project, integration of agriculture into a variety of curriculum areas, alignment with Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, assessment methods used to evaluate student's knowledge and quality of application. The proposed project must be targeted to grades pre-K through 12 and should enhance student knowledge of the contribution made by agriculture. Projects that use funds toward an ongoing education effort will receive preference over those that involve a one-time program. For more information about the teacher mini-grants, contact Darlene Arneson at 608-828-5719 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
