Abstract
Agriculture teachers have a wide variety of responsibilities. They find themselves teaching students about topics outside of their expertise. Utah State University (USU) Extension is trying to help bridge that gap and grow more interest in natural resource careers. Ag Teacher Range Camp is a three-day hands-on camp designed to empower teachers with insights into the management areas of natural resources, range, grazing, and soils. They also learn about ecological site descriptions, plant identification and associated careers. The curriculum is crafted to enable teachers to integrate their camp learnings into classroom instruction effectively.
