Instructor Susanne Esposito-Carroll

The desire to combine her two loves, agriculture and education, led Susanne to pursue an M.A. Ed with an option in Curriculum and Instruction from Fresno State in 2022. She is excited to share with elementary school teachers the fruits and findings of her research project, Integrating Agriculture Across the Content Areas in the Elementary Classroom, as well as her background with teaching agriculture-based lessons to students in a variety of grade levels. In addition to her classroom experience, Susanne has deep roots in the 4-H Youth Development Program where she has helped develop an agricultural science framework and resources designed to educate and engage adults and youth.
