Delta Conference 2008

"I am now the teacher that I always knew I could be, but just didn't know how to get there on my own. Delta gave me the tools to impact all of my students' learning in a more positive way and re-energized me as a teacher. It is the most valuable teacher professional development I have been engaged in throughout my 18 years as a teacher." - 2007 Delta Participant

What is the Delta Conference?

As part of the professional growth component of the National FFA Organization’s LifeKnowledge initiative, the Delta Conference is a five day professional development event focusing on;

Enhancing the local teacher’s ability to engage all students in the learning process;
The local teacher’s skill of integrating LifeKnowledge into technical content; and
Helping the local teacher understand and develop his or her influence in the classroom, school and community.

Delta is NOT a conference where one learns the best strategies to train FFA teams for competition, to learn how to complete award applications, or to focus on specific FFA activities.

Delta IS a conference that focuses on the craft of becoming a better teacher and leader for your students, on articulating the value of your program to your key stakeholders, and building a complete agricultural education program that will be innovative and sustainable.
