AFNR guide for what students should know and be able to do through the study of agriculture guide to develop well-planned curriculum in agriscience education used by educators to guide agricultural education curriculum development at the state and local levels
National Ag Ed Content Standards Pathways • Agribusiness Systems • Animal Systems • Biotech Systems (new) • Core Cluster Skills (coming soon) • Environmental Service Systems • Food Products & Processing Systems • Natural Resource Systems • Plant Systems • Power, Structural & Technology Systems
Pathway Layout • Pathway Content Standard —This is a general statement indicating the broad area of knowledge covered in each pathway. • Performance Elements —These represent the major topical areas within each pathway. Generally, each pathway has 5 to 10 Performance Elements.
Pathway Layout • Performance Indicators —These are more precise statements that serve as an indication of the knowledge/ability the student should possess. • Measurements —These are sample measurable activities that students might carry out to indicate attainment of each Performance Indicator.
Levels Level I —These are fundamental activities/abilities students possess at roughly the 9th- and 10th-grade levels upon which all other activities are built. Level II —These are activities/abilities that will build on the first-levelknowledge and are skills that students possess at roughly the 11th- and 12thgrade
Levels Level III —These are activities/abilities that will build in complexity from the first two levels and are skills students possess at roughly the 13th- and 14thgrade levels or may be obtained in more focused programs with articulation agreements
Current Situation AFNR Curriculum Content Standards Curriculum for Ag Science Education CAERT
Content Standards Must Adopt No Cost Use as a guide Use for any curriculum
CASE • Three pathways • Cross walked to standards • Cost of Training Two weeks Covers lodging and materials You pay airfare
CAERT Pre-developed lesson plans Easy to Use Assessments--------- Cross walked to National Content Standards Cost per lesson plan per school Package deal
CAERT Do the math---- $45,000 65 programs = $700 For 5 years $140 per year 100 students per program = $1.40/student
