North Region Teacher Spotlight
|
Ms. Lauren Jarrett has been teaching agriculture for 13 years in Chattooga County, 12 years at Summerville Middle before transitioning this past year to the Young Farmer position. Lauren grew up on a dairy farm in Chattooga County and worked in the agriculture industry for a few years before coming back home to start the agriculture program at Summerville Middle. She attended ABAC and earned her Bachelors of Science in Agriculture from UGA, majoring in Agricultural Communications. Lauren holds a Master’s degree in Agriculture Education from Oklahoma State University. In what little free time an agriculture teacher has, she enjoys riding horses, running barrels, and raising Corgis.
When asked about her educational philosophy, Lauren stated, “Working with students and making a difference in their lives motivates me to strive to be successful for my students. I strive to keep a positive environment in my classroom and be a caring teacher for my students. Agriculture education and FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of my students and allows the students to experience new things and broaden their world. Bringing awareness to agriculture and educating advocates is a huge part of my focus. From students or adults, being able to promote agriculture and awareness for the industry in my community is a special part of my job.”
