Roy Walls attended the National AgriScience Integration Institute (NAII) in June in Des Moines, Iowa. The goal of the NAII is to promote and enhance opportunities for integrating inquirybased science instruction in environmental and agricultural education programs--opportunities that will add excitement and the joy of discovery to the learning process in order to help improve student performance in standardized science tests. Fewer than 12 state teams are chosen to attend the Institute each summer. Participants shared best-practices, strategies and techniques in further integrating agriscience into a student’s education. The IAA congratulates Roy on this exciting opportunity.
