Each year DuPont sponsors forty-eight teachers from across the U.S. to receive training on inquiry-based learning and agriscience integration. Each ag teacher then becomes an Agriscience Ambassador and in turn works to increase inquiry-based learning in their own classroom, their state, and in the nation.
Ambassador applications are due in mid January NATAA is held at Chesapeake Farms in Chestertown,
Maryland at the DuPont Farm each year in June or July. For more info, contact Alissa Smith
National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy (NATAA)
In order to make larger impact on change related to inquiry-based learning, DuPont and Pioneer sponsors the NAII, which is held in Johnston, IA at Pioneer. This institute is for states to develop a plan to increase inquiry-based learning in their states.
NAII applications are due in mid April each year State teams include state staff, teacher educators,
teacher leaders (Agriscience Ambassadors), and other key people within the state.
