The 2022 NACTA conference at the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute will offer many opportunities to connect with and learn from others who share the same passion for the improvement of teaching and learning in agriculture, food and natural resources. The annual NACTA conference will provide you with new teaching techniques, ideas and resources. It is also one of the best professional development activities for networking with other teaching professionals where the common discipline is “teaching.” Our Blue Ribbon Speaker for this year's conference will be Mark Russell from Purdue University.
