The Lead Ag Teacher role supports schools to more effectively teach and implement agriculture throughout their curriculum. The program, now in its third year, is delivered by AgC consultant Sue Pratt, an experienced agriculture teacher and past President of the Agricultural Teachers Association of SA (ATASA).
The lead agriculture teacher is a pilot program which will see a leading agriculture teacher engaged to mentor, support and train agricultural teachers across SA and to engage students in meaningful food and fibre production content. The role will assist teachers seeking access to new curriculum content and individualised support to revitalise their teaching programs across all secondary year levels.
Agriculture teachers across South Australia will have access to curriculum, industry networks and support following the introduction of the SA Lead Ag Teacher.
