National #TeachAg Day - September 17, 2026

Join us for the NAAE #TeachAg Breakout 2.0 Challenge!

NAAE is excited to announce that we will host a #TeachAg Breakout 2.0 Challenge. This all new interactive challenge for your students will explore the unique skills needed to be an agricultural educator, discover why they may want to be an ag teacher, and compete with other students and programs from across the United States. If you participated last year, you should have received an email to request a refresh kit in order to compete with this all new challenge this year. The challenge will take place on National #TeachAg Day, which is Thursday, September 17, 2026.

National #TeachAg Day Resources 

As National #TeachAg Day approaches, NAAE is excited to launch updated resources to help you plan and celebrate National #TeachAg Day. Check back soon for new tools, materials, and ideas to support your celebration!

It Starts in the Classroom 

It Starts in the Classroom is a short documentary from NAAE about becoming a high school agriculture teacher. On National #TeachAg Day, we encourage you to share the journey of Brandon Bixler and Whitney Evans, two pre-service agricultural education majors working toward becoming high school agriculture teachers. This 20-minute film is a great way to get your students interested in the career of agricultural education. Visit our It Starts in the Classroom webpage to download the documentary and related resources. 

 

Thank you to the CHS Foundation for making NAAE's teacher recruitment and retention initiatives possible.
