Teacher Resources

Nourish the Future is a national education initiative developed by science teachers for science teachers. This organization has designed resources and programs to allow science teachers to incorporate modern agriculture topics into their classroom curriculum.

The NCSPA is proud to support an annual workshop through Nourish the Future that brings together middle and high school science teachers from across the state. Through this free 2-day training, teachers participate in labs, tour modern ag facilities, and visit real North Carolina farms. Teachers will leave equipped with supplies necessary to bring these topics back to their classrooms.

To find resources and learn how you can become involved with Nourish the Future, visit their website https://nourishthefuture.org/. Sign up for alerts to be notified when registration goes live for the annual NC summer workshop. Spots are limited!

About Cultivate the Classroom:

With the help of Feed the Dialogue NC, through funding from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and the United Soybean Board, the NCSPA is happy to announce the launch of our new educational resource, Cultivate the Classroom.

Cultivate the Classroom will equip educators with the resources and background knowledge needed to incorporate agricultural concepts into their instruction, no matter the subject.

This FREE resource is designed to qualify for contact hours for continuing education requirements and includes three learning modules covering an overview of the North Carolina agriculture industry, agriculture’s relationship with the environment, and an introduction to agricultural technology. Educators will also be provided with specially curated activities they can use in the classroom.
