2026 NAAE Convention

Student travel can be one of the most powerful tools in agricultural education—if it is done with purpose. This workshop will help teachers design meaningful travel experiences that go beyond logistics and create lasting learning. Drawing from real-world examples across competitions, industry tours, conventions, and field-based experiences, participants will explore practical systems for planning, funding, and managing student travel of all types. The session will emphasize student engagement, preparation, and reflection to ensure trips connect directly to classroom learning. Attendees will leave with strategies to make travel more accessible, more educational, and more manageable—without adding unnecessary stress. Whether planning a day trip or a multi-state journey, this session will help you make student travel worth it and doable.
