Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** the overall goal of this project is to provide the quality of education needed to produce diverse, culturally competent teachers who can strenthen the global food and agricultural workforce. Our objectives are to:1: develop pathways in education and outreach-oriented careers within afnr fields for undergraduate students to develop global competency, with priority given to participants from minority, underrepresented and/or low SES backgrounds.?2: provide opportunities for undergraduate students to experience the intersection between education, agriculture, and culture in diverse settings.3: advance the awareness of afnr implications of the united nations sustainable development goals (sdgs) for secondary agricultural science students. We will involve 18 students per year (6 from uidaho, 6 from penn state, and 6 from across the nineteen 1890S institutions) who have an interest in a career related to education/outreach that is agriculturally related. Accepted students will:• participate in pre-immersion webinars & bull; attend the borlaug dialogues in october at the world food prize and receive professional development on global learning related topics, and training on teaching strategies.• develop lessons and materials related to global food security in virtual teams (a member from each institutional group).• teach in triad groups for a full week (with representation from each institution) in domestic communities - focused on traditionally underrepresented populations.• participate in A10-day global immersion as a cohort, focused on a service-project related to extending global perspectives and cultural fluency of program participants.
