Ag Ed CDE Deadline Extension

The IAVAT Board has approved an extension to the Ag Ed CDE Submission Deadline.  Recognizing that some students may have organized a lesson for a virtual setting and are planning to make changes to accommodate our in person competition, it has been decided to extend the deadline to APRIL 14th.  We hope these few extra days will allow students extra time to make the changes that they would like and still allow the host time to get lesson plans scored and notify the top ten by the date below.  If your student has already submitted and would like to use the extra time to make changes, they are welcome to do so by resubmit their entry before the new deadline.

To review other information about the event, please review the information from yesterday's message below:
 
We are also excited to let you know that we will be holding the Finals in person at the Champaign County Farm Bureau on May 8th!  COVID protocol will be followed and more information will be sent out about that protocol and times to finalist closer to the competition.
