Please see the below announcement from Dr. Daniel Foster at Penn State regarding their Global Teach Ag program.

Our goal is affordable professional development. “Digital Passes” for the event are only $25 and the “All-Access” aka Conference-in-a-Box are $50. There is a limited supply of the All-Access Pass and it is distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis (100 total available). I would be glad to talk on the phone, zoom with you, or speak about this in Anaheim at NAAE. The Global Teach Ag Initiative at Penn State will have table at the partner reception for the first time!

GLAG20 Daily Essential Questions (February 3^rd-6^th)

As in the past, each day we will release “on-demand’ presentations related to the daily question as well as an evening “Live Event”. We will also be having “private events” occurring throughout the week from our Global Learning Partners.

• Sustainable Development Goals – How can instructors utilize the Sustainable Development Goal framework?
• Global Learning – How can instructors facilitate global learning on campuses and in classrooms without “leaving home”?
• Global Experiences – How can international immersion experiences facilitate student understanding of the global agricultural system?
• Education Across the World – How are educators across the world developing creative approaches to agricultural and/or food security education?
