Please suggest ideas for the Governor's Council on Agricultural Education to discuss.

  1. Suggestion(s) the Governor's Council should consider discussing to increase the number of students interested in pursuing a career in teaching Agricultural Education.


  1. Comments or suggestions you may have heard from former student(s) who pursued/pursuing an Ag Ed Degree?


  1. Costs associated with student teaching have been mentioned as one deterrent to teaching. Multiple AGEDS students have decided to pursue careers in agribusiness, rather than incur the additional expense of student teaching.

    Students often have significantly increased lodging expenses during the semester they student teach (ISU & student teaching site). How can Ag Educators assist?

    Mark all that apply.
    I am willing to investigate a low cost residence option for an AGEDS student that student teaches at my school district.
    I am willing to investigate a free residence option for an AGEDS student that student teaches at my school district.
    I am willing to investigate a scholarship for an AGEDS student that student teaches at my school district. (i.e., local FFA Alumni)
