LAS VEGAS – Shane Gross, agricultural educator at both Sanborn Central School and Woonsocket School, is one of a select group of agriculture teachers nationwide who received the 2016 Teachers Turn the Key professional development scholarship from the National Association of Agricultural Educators.
As a scholarship recipient, Gross attended the NAAE annual convention in Las Vegas, Nov. 29-Dec. 3.
The Teachers Turn the Key scholarship brings together agricultural educators with four or fewer years of experience and immerses them in three days of professional development that addresses issues specific to the early years of teaching agriculture. Participants also have the opportunity to become involved in NAAE leadership and network with other NAAE convention attendees. TTTK awardees come away from the experience with a long-lasting peer cohort and tools that will help them have successful careers as agricultural educators.
