Agricultural Education Program Description Agricultural Education provides students with the opportunity to participate in coordinated group and individual instructional activities that are focused on preparation for future careers in agriculture. The agricultural education program is designed to develop technical, leadership, and management expertise needed by middle and high school students preparing for careers in agricultural occupations and to further education in an agriculturally-related field. Agriculture encompasses various elements of the food, fiber, and natural resource systems. Agricultural employment is broadly defined to include careers that require agricultural knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed in producing, managing, processing, marketing, distributing, regulating, or protecting any of the renewable resources. Formal instruction may also be provided for out-of-school youth and adults who wish to upgrade their agricultural skills and knowledge. Design The agricultural education program is built on the three core areas of classroom/laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experience programs, and FFA student organization activities/opportunities. The agricultural education program is designed for delivery through these three core educational strategies:

Agricultural Education and Local Youth Councils Opportunity to be a Partner Help the Youth in Your Community! A new initiative is being implemented to help youth acquire the skills and abilities needed to succeed in the workplace. Based on community needs, it will redefine current local youth program offerings and will build upon innovative methods and experiences. The intent is to provide youth with skills that include a knowledge of the work world, academic skills liked to occupational learning, and both employability and attitudinal capabilities. If those objectives sound familiar, and they should, your local FFA Chapter can become involved in helping all youth succeed in your community. Goal of the Workforce Investment Act The goal of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which will replace the Job Training Partnerships Act on July1, 2000, is to reform youth services and activities under four major themes: the establishment of the local youth council; comprehensive services based on individual assessment;

Agricultural Education Program Degree Requirements What is Agricultural Education? Agricultural Education is a major that prepares you for leadership positions in education or agribusiness. Preparing teachers of agriculture is our primary mission, however, skills developed in this program are transferable to any career where communication skills and technical knowledge about agriculture are important. Agricultural Education is very diverse. It includes all aspects of sciences related to the: technology of food and fiber production, marketing, business management, finance, wildlife, natural resource management, food processing, product development, sales, communications, ag. research, plant, soil, and animal science, mechanics, public policy, international trade, and more. If any of these areas are interesting to you and you enjoy the challenge of leading, communicating ideas, setting the standard for others to follow, then you'll like Agricultural Education. What Career Opportunities are Available in Ag. Ed.? Over half our graduates choose to teach the applied science of agriculture. The rest choose careers such as those listed below that require the skills learned in Agricultural Education. Many Ag. Ed. majors increase their employment options by taking courses that lead to certification to teach "science" or "career orientation." However, if you want to teach agriculture, you will have no problem finding a job in Arkansas or nearby states. Starting salaries are in the mid to upper 20s. Skills you gain will give you a variety of career options as you enter the 21st Century. Some of those non-teaching careers include:

Posted May 1997 Agricultural Education and Training: Issues and Opportunities - Part II (continued) Previous Next 3. Internal issues in agricultural education Internal coherence of the agricultural education system One of the issues of concern to participants at the round table for Central and Eastern Europe was the creation of a sufficiently flexible and diversified system of technical agricultural education. The system, it was felt, should allow the adaptation of courses to local needs as well as to students' professional career interests. Technical-level agricultural education and training has two major objectives: To train farmers and to develop mid-level manpower for the public and private sectors; and To qualify students for entry to higher agricultural education. These two objectives, however, can only be reconciled with difficulty. The number of graduates who manage to move up the higher education ladder are few compared to those who come from the general education mainstream. Countries where technical agricultural education is provided in separate colleges or high schools ( French-speaking Africa Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe ) often have weak links and exchanges among institutions resulting in isolation and frequent duplication in basic science teaching. Co-ordination between technical and higher levels of agricultural education is generally very poor.

Writing And Learning Skills -- A Good Combination In Agricultural Education Wouldn t it be great if we consistently used learning activities that caused I recentlyobserved a class taught by a student teacher in agricultural education. http://www.cals.ncsu.edu:8050/agexed/leap/aee535/Flowers.htm

Writing and Learning Skills A Good Combination in Agricultural Education By Jim Flowers and Rita Reaves The Agricultural Education Magazine, September 1991, Volume 64 10, 16. Agriculture teachers have always emphasized developing thinking skills among students and using information through a problem solving approach to teaching and learning instead of memorization of agricultural subject matter. The challenge has been to develop learning activities that promote this basic philosophy. Wouldn't it be great if we consistently used learning activities that caused students to think about what they had been taught and to solve problems, instead of regurgitating information? I recently observed a class taught by a student teacher in agricultural education. She was teaching a unit in poultry production. Near the end of the class something amazing happened. She asked the students to WRITE about what they felt was the most important concept they had studied that day and to explain why they thought that concept was important to the poultry industry. Much to my amazement, every student immediately began writing. After the class ended the student teacher shared the essays with me. It was obvious that, despite the grammatical errors and misspelled words, these students clearly understood the concepts taught and saw practical applications to the production of poultry. Teachers of agriculture have heard many calls for increased emphasis on higher order thinking and better basic communications skills for secondary agriculture students. Indeed, seven years ago, Congress included in the Carl D. Perkins Act a mandate that vocational educators find ways to reinforce and enhance basic skills in their classrooms. While some attention has been given to improving scientific and mathematical skills in vocational education, less emphasis seems to have been placed on thinking and communication skills in agriculture. The Panel on Secondary School Education for the Changing Workplace (1984) echoed the same call, identifying written and spoken English as "the most basic skill" of all. Lotto (1983) concluded that vocational teachers do not provide their students with ample opportunities to practice basic skills

Home District And Community Services Office Of Career And Technology Education Curriculum and Competencies ... Office of Career and Technology Education Agricultural Education is a program for high school and middle school students interested in pursuing careers in natural resources, environmental and agricultural careers. Hundreds of careers are available to students who complete this program. Each local program is designed and conducted to meet specific local needs as identified by that program's advisory committee, and the school administration. These programs include training for careers in agricultural production, processing, mechanization/engineering, communication/education, scientist, marketing/sales, horticulture, forestry, research, and agribusiness. The agricultural education program involves the following components: rigorous classroom instruction (contextual learning), hands-on experience and career exploration (work-based learning), and the FFA (connecting activity). Programs are designed to prepare students to fill community needs, enter post secondary agricultural programs, and develop their personal skills. Over 20% percent of America's work force is employed in some phase of the agricultural industry. Of the 20% involved in agriculture, only 8% are involved in production while 30% are involved in marketing, merchandising, and sales. Twenty-nine percent are scientists, engineers, and related professionals. With the increasing population world wide, greater demands will be made on the food and fiber industry. Career opportunities are abundant for agricultural education students.

ARTICULATED PROGRAM GUIDE FOR AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS Introduction Agriculture is a broad-spectrum industry with a diversity of career and job opportunities. Only a small percentage of those people working in agricultural industry are involved in production agriculture. The rest work in agribusiness, communications, science, government, education, processing and distribution, marketing and sales, as well as other occupations that serve the farmer or the total agricultural industry. Based upon the above information, instructional programs have been clustered to deliver instruction that will provide students with a wide range of opportunities for entry-level employment or further education. New and emerging occupations in biotechnology, microtechnology, electronic and satellite technology in agricultural mechanics, and integrated financial management will necessitate a sound foundation in agriculture at the secondary level. As these new occupational areas and others develop and labor needs are demonstrated, additional program and course descriptions will be developed. A regional delivery system should offer training for occupations as determined by employment opportunities and the needs of the students.
