Dave Burgess Keynote:
Dave Burgess spoke in the HUB Robeson Center and delivered a
one of a kind message to the university. Staff members, students, and even some
alumni came to listen in! His energetic message and delivery of his speech made
everyone in the audience truly think about how they can change up their
classrooms, meetings or any day to day activity and make it better! At the end
of the Keynote, Dave Burgess was kind enough to sign books for the audience
members and take a couple of pictures as well! #psuaged16 Workshop with Dave Burgess and Cooperating Teachers
After the Keynote concluded, cooperating teachers and the
AEE seniors were able to go to a different classroom and begin a one on one
teacher workshop session with Dave. He brought more of his examples that he
uses in the classroom and how he gets his students fired up to learn about the
lesson of that day. After it concluded, teachers and students alike were all
excited to go back to the classroom and implement the new strategies they
learned.
Due to technical difficulties, our live stream was not able
to make it on the big screen down in Washington D.C.! We look forward to other
opportunities in the future and partnering with the National Teach Ag!
Campaign.
Overall it was a great day filled with lots of learning and
working with our Ag Ed Family! We look forward to many more National Teach Ag!
Days and inviting new people to collaborate with the Penn State Ag Ed Majors!
