Each year at its annual meeting, Maine Agriculture in the Classroom (MAITC) recognizes an outstanding Maine elementary or secondary school teacher who uses agricultural education materials and/or activities in the classroom to teach core subjects.
The winning teacher is then required to submit—with MAITC’s help—an application for a National Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) Excellence in Teaching about Agriculture Award and attends the National AITC Conference.
Applications are due October 3, 2022 .
The application (and more info) can be found on the MAITC website. For further questions, reach out to MAITC at (207)287-5522 or maitca@maine.gov. For more news and updates from MAITC, sign up for their newsletter.
