Discover how a middle school CTE teacher and Media Coordinator transformed agricultural education through an innovative partnership with the Discover Dairy Adopt-a-Cow program. “From Moo to You” blends virtual farm tours, career exploration, nonfiction literacy integration, and hands-on learning to connect students with real-world agriculture and STEAM pathways.
Participants will explore how virtual farmer interviews, dairy-based inquiry activities, and curated nonfiction texts increased student engagement, strengthened cross-curricular connections, and expanded awareness of agricultural careers. This session highlights practical strategies for collaboration between CTE and library programs while building meaningful community partnerships.
Attendees will leave with ready-to-implement ideas for integrating agriculture, literacy, and workforce readiness into their own classrooms.
