The Cornell Agricultural Education Outreach staff, NYAAE Executive Council, and the New York State Education Department invite you to the 2021 Hybrid Professional Development Conference for Agricultural Educators held at the Oswegatchie Educational Center located in Croghan, NY from Monday, June 21 to Wednesday, June 23, 2021 and Wednesday, June 23 to Friday, June 25, 2021. Our event will have both in person and virtual options with the ability to switch to fully virtual if necessary.

The goal of the annual professional development conference is to enhance the quality of instructional programs for secondary agricultural educators through in-service education with activity based workshops that address the needs of our constantly changing agricultural and agriscience programs. Sessions are designed to both raise the scientific rigor of agricultural courses and provide middle, high, and post secondary educators with new technologies and resources for their classrooms.

This high-quality professional development opportunity meets the Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) criteria pursuant to Section 80-6 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. By attending this conference each teacher will receive more than 20 professional development hours.

This conference has something for everyone.

We are looking forward to seeing each of you in June!
