About the Teach AG Program

• One of the main reasons we ‘TAG’ students is because there is a high demand for agricultural education teachers in South Carolina and throughout the United States.
• Career potential across the state and nation is due to the addition of new programs, the expansion of programs to include more teachers, and the retirement of current teachers.
• Secondary schools value the unique aspects of an agricultural education program which includes a three component model of classroom and laboratory instruction, a Supervised Agricultural Education Experience (SAE) and participation in the FFA organization.
• This model is naturally designed to include rigorous science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) based instruction, experiential learning and leadership development skills.

• In South Carolina, we ‘TAG’ students through a strategy led by the SCAAE.
• Our state agricultural educators receive information annually to identify students in their program that they feel would make great agricultural educators.
• Once students are identified and selected, they become ‘TAG’ members of the yearly cohort.
• Each year the cohort is recognized at the SC FFA State Convention.
• Teachers, please look out for communication from SCAAE regarding details for submitting contact information for your ‘TAG’ students.
