National Western Teacher Workshop

Agriculture 101

Dear Friends:

Focusing on our educational charter, the National Western Stock Show is pleased to announce the addition of a teacher workshop, “Agriculture 101”, which is eligible for recertification credit, to our schedule of events. A 15-hour class, the workshop takes place over two days – November 10, 2007, and January 12, 2008 – and will be held at the National Western Complex.

An exciting agricultural adventure, the workshop focuses on the many facets of the agricultural industry and offers hands-on agricultural experiences to attendees. Topics will include food safety, nutrition, soil & crop sciences, agricultural sciences, water and renewable energy, stewardship, teaching agriculture in the classroom and the history and socio-economic impact of the National Western Stock Show. Workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to tour behind-the-scenes locations, such as National Western’s private art collection and the Wall of Champions, throughout the National Western Complex.

Above all, teachers will learn the important impact the agricultural industry plays in the everyday life of our society from Colorado’s top agricultural experts. Sanctioned by Colorado State University, attendees will hear from Colorado State University professors, agricultural extension agents and international agriculture marketers.

Registration for the workshop is $40, and includes lunch both days. Upon completion, teachers will receive 1 recertification credit. Registration is available online or call (303) 637-8109. For further information, please contact Angie Cue at (303) 299-5523.
