The Indiana Agriculture & Technology School Agriculture Instructor team spent a week in December in Nashville, Tennessee, attending the 2025 NAAE Convention – one of the premier professional development gatherings for agricultural educators nationwide. With more than 80 workshops, hands-on learning sessions, and countless opportunities to connect with leaders in agricultural education, the week offered our team fresh ideas, new partnerships, and inspiration to bring back to our classrooms and campuses.
Throughout the conference, staff engaged with exhibitors, attended innovative sessions, and met fellow educators who share a passion for shaping the next generation of agriculture and technology leaders. From classroom strategies to cutting-edge tools for ag education, each day provided valuable insights our team is excited to integrate into IATS programming.
Most importantly, this week reinforced our commitment to ensuring students receive real-world, future-focused learning experiences. The ideas, resources, and relationships built in Nashville will directly support the continued growth of our curriculum, Active Participation Days, and career-readiness opportunities.
