Classroom Agriculture Program Volunteer Manual

 
   
 
 
 Our theme for CAP 2006 is PARTNERS, with a sub theme of Growing More Than Food, Growing Alberta. We are providing this Presentation Manual to be used as a springboard full of ideas and inspiration for your presentation.

Classroom Agriculture Program Mission Statement:

To Promote Agriculture By Educating And Informing Alberta Students

Goals for Volunteers:

  • to adapt the following information to their own operation and experiences, as well as agriculture in general, remembering that personalizing it is what makes the program unique and exciting;
    • to use visual aids and hands-on materials whenever possible;
    • to emphasize the economic spin-off from the agri-food industry following the Growing More Than Food, Growing Alberta philosophy;
    • to emphasize that every day is Earth Day for Alberta farmers and ranchers as farmers are the original environmentalists;
    • to inspire students to discover more about agriculture following your presentation.
