Teacher Support
"Thank you to each of the donors who support this amazing program! This program has had a profound impact on my career as an agricultural educator and is one of many reasons why I continue to work as an agriculture educator in today's climate. This program has made me rediscover why I became an agriculture teacher in the first place. Thank you for all that you do to support the profession!” —Tyler D'Angelo, North Carolina, National Teacher Ambassador for FFA
At National FFA, we are
working to empower teachers with the tools they need to succeed and impact
students.
Teacher support donations help:
- Provide educator resources to all 14,490 agriculture
educators at no cost to them. These turn-key lesson plans and educational
materials ensure teachers are prepared to educate students on various relevant
topics.
- Fund the National Teacher Ambassadors for FFA program,
providing professional support and development to fight burnout and improve
teacher retention rates.
- Serve teachers whose agricultural education programs are at
risk of being downsized or eliminated. National FFA works to equip teachers
with the skills to influence and articulate the value of agricultural education
and FFA to administrators, school boards, guidance counselors and parents.
- Underwrite programs such as the Team Ag Ed Inservice, which
brings state FFA staff, teachers and alumni together to share best practices.
Just as FFA works to ensure members develop the knowledge and skills required in the workforce, teachers also need opportunities to develop new skills and seek assistance. Your gifts will help ensure that they receive the support and resources they need.
