Teaching Agriculture Business?
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

Join the Educator AgriNetwork — a growing movement of ag business teachers and industry partners building a stronger, smarter, career-ready future for students.

Promotional graphic for the Educator AgriNetwork, featuring the tagline "Empowering Ag Ed Teachers | Connecting Classrooms to Careers." The design includes vibrant green hexagonal patterns and images of educators and students engaged in agricultural learning, such as inspecting crops, using digital tools, and taking notes in a greenhouse setting.

What Is the Educator AgriNetwork?

Right now, 45 Ag Business teachers across Ohio are piloting the network — testing, refining, and implementing a 28-week, industry-aligned Ag Business curriculum that’s transforming classrooms into career-launching hubs.

Whether you’re already in the pilot group or just learning about us, the network gives you:

Career-Aligned Curriculum – Get immediate access to completed units, with additional units released throughout the school year until all 7 are available.

Plug-and-Play Lessons – Real-world tasks like drone mapping, business audits, and career portfolio building—ready to implement as soon as you download them.

National Ag Business Educator Community – Collaborate, share strategies, and solve challenges with peers teaching the same content across the country.

Ongoing Professional Learning – Quarterly virtual events, industry insights, and updated resources to keep your program fresh and relevant.

Built for Ag Business Teachers Who Want to:

✅ Connect classroom learning directly to real-world ag business and industry needs

✅ Access engaging, career-aligned lessons that are ready to teach tomorrow

✅ Join a supportive network of ag business educators nationwide

✅ Boost student engagement while preparing them for credentials, careers, and leadership

✅ Save time on lesson planning without sacrificing instructional quality

The Challenge Facing Ag Business Teachers

Ag business is evolving at a rapid pace — from drone technology and precision agriculture to global trade, sustainability, and data-driven decision-making. Yet many classrooms are still working with outdated content, limited industry access, and too little time to create everything from scratch.

And for most ag business teachers, the workload is staggering:

You’re expected to teach multiple courses, coach teams, manage student projects, keep up with industry trends, prepare students for credentials, and somehow still keep lessons fresh and engaging.

Too often, agricultural educators are left isolated—fighting to stay relevant in a fast-evolving industry. This initiative was created to change that. The Educator AgriNetwork brings teachers together in a statewide, collaborative network focused on:

Delivering real-world, industry-aligned instruction
Equipping students with the skills agriculture careers actually demand
Giving teachers access to a community of peer support, mentorship, and ready-to-implement resources

Together, we’re co-creating the leading statewide and national model for high-impact ag business instruction.

Our Solution:
The Educator AgriNetwork combines industry-vetted curriculum, a national network of ag business teachers, and real-time professional learning so you can spend less time reinventing lessons and more time impacting students.
