It Starts in the Classroom

A short documentary from NAAE about becoming a high school agriculture teacher. 

Share the journey of Brandon Bixler and Whitney Evans, two pre-service agricultural education majors working toward becoming high school agriculture teachers.

This 20-minute film is a great way to get your students interested in the career of agricultural education. NAAE has also developed resources you can use in your classroom or in #TeachAg Workshops as students reflect on the film and their own journey to become an agricultural educator.
