Summer Agricultural Institute (Visit Website)
Mon June 4, 2012 to Fri June 8, 2012
The Summer Agricultural Institute (SAI) is a five-day tour designed to teach K-12 teachers about food and fiber production and help them incorporate that knowledge in the classroom curriculum. SAI combines hands-on learning about agriculture with practical curriculum development.

Applications received prior to March 1 will pay an $85 fee once notified of acceptance into the Institute. Applications received after March 1 will pay a $125 fee once notified of acceptance into the Institute. Accommodations, meals and travel during the five days of SAI are paid for by the AZ Foundation for Agricultural Literacy. Participants must provide their own transportation to and from Phoenix.

You may earn 48 CEU hours subject to district approval. The University of Arizona offers up to three graduate level credits at your own expense for completing SAI.

The Institute provides participants with free classroom materials that are aligned to Arizona Academic Standards. You will visit a variety of agricultural operations, spend an entire day at the University of Arizona's research farm, visit schools with active agriculture education programs, and spend time with a family on a modern-day working farm or ranch.
