ABOUT THE NSWAAT

NSWAAT is a member of the National Association of Agriculture Educators

The NSW Association of Agriculture Teachers is actively involved in representing teachers and providing assistance through representation on Board of Studies Committees related to Agriculture. Also by making direct approaches to Government, the Minister, CEC and the Department. There is involvement in the Professional Teaching Council and Professional Standards committees. The Bulletin of the Association (BAAT Journal) keeps members up to date.

Membership will increasingly provide you with the help you need to enhance your professional experiences.
