Illinois agriculture teachers are encouraged to make use of a valuable shared teaching resource as the second semester begins and FFA activities increase.
The IAVAT Curriculum Committee offers a free Supplemental Google Drive filled with curriculum materials created by agriculture teachers across Illinois.
This shared Google Drive includes ready to use lessons activities and classroom resources. These materials are designed to support agriculture education programs while helping teachers save time during a busy school year. All Illinois agriculture teachers have access to the Drive and may begin using the content right away.
The resources found in the Drive cover a wide range of agriculture topics and classroom needs. Since the materials are created by fellow educators they are practical classroom tested and easy to apply.
Teachers can use these lessons to strengthen instruction support student learning and reduce lesson planning stress.
A flyer explains how teachers can access the Supplemental Google Drive. The flyer also outlines how to explore available materials and begin using them in agriculture courses. Teachers are encouraged to review the resource and select lessons that best match their classroom goals and student needs.
The IAVAT Curriculum Committee also invites teachers to contribute their own curriculum. Educators who have developed lessons or activities that work well with students are encouraged to share them.
By uploading materials teachers help grow the resource and support agriculture programs across the state.
The flyer also provides clear instructions on how to upload lessons and teaching tools to the Drive. This shared approach allows agriculture teachers to learn from one another and build stronger programs together.
The Supplemental Google Drive reflects a statewide effort to improve and expand agricultural education from early learning through adulthood.
By sharing resources Illinois agriculture teachers strengthen collaboration improve classroom instruction and support the long term success of agricultural education programs.
