This workshop is designed to support non-agriculture-trained teachers in feeling comfortable and confident teaching the agriculture component of the Stage 4 Technology Mandatory syllabus.

The workshop will include:
- A 30-minute presentation highlighting practical approaches and real-world examples.
- Practical strategies for classroom adaptations in resource-limited schools.
- A guided outline for teachers to take home and implement in their classrooms.
Whether your school has access to a farm, a kitchen, or neither, this session provides adaptable solutions to fit your resources. Time will also be allocated for questions and collaborative discussion to ensure every participant leaves with actionable insights.
