National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy

We are proud of our 13 year partnership with DuPont, the National Association of Agricultural Educators and the National FFA Foundation that supports it. Lab-Aids® was the 2010 DuPont Education Partner of the Year - primarily for our long-standing role as a curriculum partner and our initial role in program and workshop design.

What's the big Deal?

Are research-based programs really that different from others?
Absolutely
I'm not convinced
Yes!

Research-based curricula is built on rigorous research in content, cognitive development, and educational best-practice. These programs require ongoing evaluation for efficacy in student understanding and, in our case, are linked to highly regarded institutions that also have a stake in maintaining their reputation of excellence. 

Yes - there's really no comparison.
