2010 NAAE "Teachers Turn the Key" Scholarship Application

Agricultural education is continually faced with a shortage of qualified teachers. Unless those who have been trained enter and remain in the profession for a period of several years, the shortage of qualified teachers will prevail. As a means of encouraging young teachers to remain in the profession and to encourage and recognize participation in professional activities, NAAE offers the Teachers Turn the Key Scholarship.

NAAE members who are currently in their second, third, or fourth year of teaching are eligible to apply for this award. Applicants must be a member of NAAE during the year of application (2009-2010) and be a member of NAAE at the time of the convention at which they receive the scholarship (2010-2011). Applicants must not have attended the NAAE convention previously. All state winners must agree to attend the entire NAAE convention.

The postmark deadline for submitting state winning applications to the national NAAE office is May 15, 2009.

The Teachers Turn the Key Scholarship program is sponsored by RAM Truck Brand as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

2010 NAAE Teacher Mentor Award Application

If you ask agriculture teachers what motivated them to enter and stay in the teaching profession, predominately they will attribute their decision to another agriculture teacher who encouraged them. Many state agricultural education associations have recognized the importance of positive relationships between beginning and experienced teachers by creating formal organizational structures to connect beginning and experienced teachers. This award program will provide additional incentives for experienced teachers to become mentors for beginning teachers, and it will provide beginning teachers a way to say thank you to the experienced teachers who have influenced them.

The Teacher Mentor Award is sponsored by CEV Multimedia
