They joined more than 200 agriscience educators from across the state of Louisiana in this three-day conference, updating skills and discussing issues/concerns facing agricultural education.
The primary goal of the conference was training in the following areas: discussing organizational strategies for upcoming legislation, developing teaching skills and techniques by attending workshops and in-services, assisting with the development of Jumpstart pathways, and increasing the camaraderie within and among technical education divisions.
The conference included guest presenters, discussions, workshops, committee work, and business meetings.
