“The Professional Development for Agricultural Literacy (PDAL) program seeks to increase the number of K-14 educational professionals trained in the food and agricultural sciences. Participants (teachers, post-baccalaureate pre-service teachers, counselors, and administrators) are expected to develop and apply skills necessary for integrating food and agricultural science concepts in their classes; explore the opportunities available in food and agricultural science career paths; and/or forge mentorships with professional and business leaders and faculty at four-year institutions. An informational PDAL webinar will be held April 6, from 2 to 3 p.m. (ET). For more information or to preregister for this webinar, go online to NIFA’s webinar announcement.”
