Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom Honors Coyle Elementary Teacher

Fri, 20 Feb 2015 10:14:39 CST

Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom Honors Coyle Elementary Teacher Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom has announced their 2015 Teacher of the Year is Connie Whitmore. Mrs. Whitmore, a 26-year veteran educator, teaches kindergarten at Coyle Elementary. Connie has been involved with Ag in the Classroom for 10+ years. She has provided education for her students and other educators through her garden produce. Connie has been a Woman in Agriculture Winner in Ag Production and recognized by the Oklahoma Vegetable Association for contributing to the Oklahoma Vegetable Industry.


Whitmore is a graduate of Oklahoma State University.


Mrs. Whitmore says, "My passion, without hesitation is teaching. It doesn't seem to matter if I am teaching in the classroom, on the farm, or at the farmers market; I enjoy education everyone about agriculture. Whether it's explaining something growing in the garden to a child who accompanied a parent to our farm, instructing high school students working on the farm for an FFA labor exchange, education adults at the Farmers Market about the produce they were purchasing or teachers pursuing information about gardening, I truly enjoy teaching."


In Connie's classroom agriculture is not treated as a theme to be taught for a week or two, but integrated into all subject areas regardless of the objective.


Whitmore will be honored on Ag Day at the state capitol by Oklahoma Farm Credit; Southwest Dairy Farmers; Oklahoma Farm Bureau Women; Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry; and her legislators. She will attend the National Ag in the Classroom conference in Louisville, Kentucky and be On the Road with Ag in the Classroom this summer.
