In the Classroom
Classroom
Today, many Ohio students do not have a meaningful connection to agriculture or where their food actually comes from.
Not only does the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) support agriculture education, but OPA provides programs and other initiatives for students, teachers and families. These programs have been developed by experienced teachers and Ohio farmers.
Materials and video presentations that are geared toward educating Ohio’s youth and targeted for in-classroom programming aligned with Ohio’s state curriculum standards.
For more information on educational opportunities, contact OPA at (614) 882-6111.
