The FFA Board of Directors also adopted a policy AET record books must be utilized for state-level FFA applications (Nebraska FFA Degree and Proficiency Awards).

Beginning Teacher

All teachers who are in their first year teaching agricultural education in Nebraska are invited to participate in the Beginning Teacher and Mentoring Program.  As a joint effort of Nebraska’s Team Ag Ed, beginning teachers will be assigned a mentor from a nearby school within their agricultural education district who will serve as a first line of support throughout the school year.  Additionally, beginning teachers will attend monthly Zoom meetings during the school year, with in-person meetings once each semester.  Please view the schedule of meetings here.
