Our partnerships with educators, administrators and industry leaders are vital to the success of our company. These relationships drive the products and resources we bring to market. They help ensure that our products meet the needs of today’s educators and make lessons truly meaningful. We could not do what we do without the support of passionate, hard-working teachers everywhere. That’s why our recent 2021 WAAE Outstanding Cooperation Award means so much.
We were thrilled to be presented with the award at the 2021 WAAE Professional Development Conference in La Crosse, WI on June 28. Feedback, ideas and support from members of the National Association of Agriculture Educators have helped us develop a variety of learning aids, from bovine and swine skills training tools to hydroponics systems.
“We are truly honored to be selected for providing outstanding support for agricultural education,” said Realityworks Product Manager Jamey McIntosh. “As the field of agriculture expands and less students come to the classroom ‘from the farm,’ teachers need learning aids and resources that engage students. They need tools that attract students to programs and teach needed skills. Most of our product ideas come from conversations with NAAE members. Truly, it is these teachers who support us – we could not do what we do without their help.”
