Register for the Illinois ELITE
Conference by September 10th!
The ELITE
Conference is a one-day workshop that gives students with an interest in
teaching a chance to explore the possibilities agriculture education has to
offer. It is a great opportunity to meet other students with similar
interests, talk with college and university representatives and get any
questions answered. This event will be held on September 20th, 2024 and
will include the premiere of the NAAE Teach Ag Short Film!
We would
like to stress that teachers invite students that have a sincere interest in
agricultural education to attend. Due to capacity issues, we ask schools
to plan to bring no more than 4 participants. If there is still space
available, we will allow for more.
Included in
this email are 2 word documents: a personal invite to the student and a letter
to the parent/guardian of the student invited. These special documents
provide an element of distinction for this event. NOTE: Please read and
revise, as they are not "just print" documents!
We will have
a track for those that are first time attendees and those that have attended in
the past. We ask that students that have participated two times do not
attend again. Registration space is limited so make sure to get
students registered early. Also consider having students check
out teachag.net, compete in the Illinois
FFA Ag Ed CDE, participate in a GAST grant or start an SAE project!
Details:
When: Friday September 20, 2024; Est Time:
9:30 AM -2:30 PM
