OUTFIT A TEACHER OR SCHOOL WITH THE LATEST SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES
The Sponsor a Classroom program provides companies, organizations, and individuals an opportunity to sponsor agriculture and environmental education in classrooms across the commonwealth. Teachers and schools that are the recipients of the sponsorship receive several grade-level appropriate, ready-to-use resources and curricula that can be integrated into daily learning activities. There are several sponsorship options depending on grade level, budget, and teacher interest.
A 2.5-hour training workshop to go through the kits will be provided when a minimum of 5 teaching kits are sponsored. In addition, sponsoring groups may coordinate a joint workshop for their region.
