Conjuring Carroll awarded scholarship grant

Carroll Chapman

The National Center for Agricultural Literacy (NCLA) recently launched its Certified Agricultural Literacy Educator program is designed for K-12 educators, through the University of Utah. Performing Artist “Conjuring” Carroll Chapman was awarded a scholarship grant to attend the pilot training, to provide peer reviewed input on the developed curriculum.

NCLA promotes agricultural literacy through research, resources, and educational initiatives, in partnership with the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization (NAITCO), the AgClass­roomStore, Utah State University, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Their mission is to educate communities to become more agriculturally literate. An agriculturally literate person understands and can communicate the source and value of agriculture as it affects our quality of life.

Mr. Chapman is a social worker magician, who graduated from the School of Social Work at the University of Maine. He intertwines his education and 30 years of performing arts to provide dynamic presentation as an educational specialist. He plans to utilize his certification in agricultural literature to help educate communities, schools and agricultural fairs about the importance of agriculture.
