December 15, 2021



The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program and the IAA Foundation along with the Illinois Farm Bureau® have released the names of the 2021-2022 Teacher Grant Winners.

John Davin and Maggie McCalla of Staunton High School have been awarded grants for the projects: STEM in Agriculture and Turning the Paige.

The mission of the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (IAITC) program is to bring accurate and authentic agricultural information to the student in grades PreK-12 across Illinois.

“Each year our teacher grant program is very competitive, and our judging panel is amazed at the unique programs teachers use to infuse agriculture into their curriculum. Our book grant winners are ready to jump into units of study highlighting agriculture. We see 2021-2022 as a prime opportunity for teachers to infuse their curriculum with agriculture” said Kevin Daugherty, Director, Illinois Center for Agricultural Engagement and IAITC.


Susan Moore, Director of the IAA Foundation added, “We take pride in providing resources so teachers can continue to engage and inspire students. These grants are a meaningful way for the IAA Foundation to partner with likeminded organizations to fulfill our mission to support the future of agriculture through education.”
