Ag in the Classroom and Ag Literacy

The goal of  Agriculture in the Classroom is to “increase agricultural literacy through K-12 education”.  AITC is unique within the agricultural education community as the lead organization to serve the full spectrum of K-12 formal education.

The National Agricultural Literacy Curriculum Matrix is an online, searchable, and standards-based curriculum map for K-12 teachers. The Matrix contextualizes national education standards in science, social studies, and nutrition education with relevant instructional resources linked to Common Core Standards.
