Creating Impact Through Agricultural Education.
What is the value of a good teacher? Anyone fortunate enough to have had a quality teacher knows the answer: That person is priceless. While a teacher’s commitment and dedication are showcased daily in schools, we recognize the qualities and passion that all FALI agricultural educators bring to the classroom. Prajakta Kale (pictured above), who grew up on a farm in Satara, has been an agricultural educator in Baramati for the past three years. While she originally pursued a future as an entomologist, her love for agriculture and education led her into the classroom. “I think about the end goal for my students, rather than immediate success,” Prajakta says. “While all success is beneficial, as a nontraditional agriculture teacher, I strive to make the content more relevant to all students no matter what career they may go into.”
