WHAT IS THE STAR PROGRAM?
The State Teach Ag Results (STAR) program is a state-level program, facilitated and led by NAAE, designed to assist state teams with creating and implementing a data-driven, sustainable and effective recruitment and retention plan. The STAR program is a component of the NAAE National Teach Ag Campaign. The National Teach Ag Campaign started in 2009 as an initiative led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators designed to raise awareness of the need to recruit and retain high-quality and diverse agriculture teachers, encourage others to consider a career teaching agriculture and celebrate the positive contributions agriculture teachers make in our schools and communities. The NAAE National Teach Ag Campaign is funded by the CHS Foundation.
