Anyone who has spent time in a classroom can tell you about the value of student engagement. According to a recent Gallup poll, students who are engaged in their learning are 2.5 times more likely to say that they get excellent grades and do well in school. With 150 students now participating in the Stamford Agriscience Program, we learned why this type of instruction is so effective for local high schoolers. We spoke with Kyle Rogers, a sophomore in the program, as well as Virginia Cipolla, an Agriscience Teacher and the Program Coordinator for the Stamford Agriscience Program.
