Agriscience Education places a new emphasis on the integration
of academics into existing agriculture/agriscience curricula,
especially in the areas of science and mathematics. As a result
of this emphasis, new programs are included in the Agriscience
Education curriculum. This new direction serves two major
purposes: (1) to provide students with the knowledge and skills
needed to enter and advance in agricultural careers and (2) to
enable students to function as informed citizens in today's
society.
The
objectives of Agriscience Education are:
● To provide education in and
about agriculture from the
perspective of science and technology
●
To prepare students for
employment in an agricultural career
● To prepare students for
entry into postsecondary programs in
agriscience fields
● To provide education about
the role of agriscience in the
conservation of the Earth's
natural
resources
●To develop life and
employability skills essential for successful
employment
● To develop skills needed to
fulfill occupational, social, and civic
responsibilities
The
Agriscience Education program is a comprehensive program
providing students appropriate
classroom
and laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experiences,
and personal development
experiences through both classroom instruction and related
organizational FFA activities. These
components
are integrated to complement each other, providing an effective
program for students and
effectively utilizing instructional time.
