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:

About the Foundation for Agriculture The mission of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is to initiate and finance agricultural education and research projects of regional and national interest that have an impact on both the present and future of American agricultural production. The Foundation's ongoing theme is "Securing Our Future," reflecting the primary goal of supporting a viable agricultural industry. The Foundation for Agriculture works with state and county Farm Bureaus as well as other organizations and individuals to raise funds that support: sound, science-based research aimed at immediate needs of U.S. agricultural producers and educational programs and materials about the food and fiber system for nationwide distribution. The largest base of financial support for the Foundation comes from individual Farm Bureau members nationwide. Another major source of contributions is the state and county Farm Bureaus that designate the Foundation in their budgets. A third source of support is corporations and foundations. Agricultural Education Department Given the decreasing farm population and widespread lack of understanding among consumers about the sources of their food and fiber, agricultural education is vitally important to the future of farming and ranching. The American Farm Bureau added the Agricultural Education Department to the Foundation in 1998 to enhance the organization's role as a national leader in teaching the public about agriculture.

Efforts in Animal Welfare Education Dr. David Coffey Western Kentucky University Introduction Acquiring contemporary, non-biased teaching materials is a problem for all educators. The National FFA Foundation in cooperation with the Council for Agriculture education has been involved in a four year project to write, field-test, revise and disseminate materials in the areas of animal welfare. Representatives from each state are then "trained" representatives in agricultural education to go to their states to be resources in implementing materials into their current curriculum. Objectives of the project materials are to develop an appreciation for the necessary role of animals in our lives, make informed decisions on issues related to treatment and uses of animals and animal products, distinguish differences in perceptions of animal welfare vs. animals rights, provide management guidelines, audio-visual and other instructional resources related to animal welfare issues and to develop students’ critical-thinking skills. History of Project In 1992, the National FFA Foundation began seeking funding for the project and Dr. David Coffey, teacher educator at Western Kentucky University, was selected as project director. An Action Force of 16 professionals from commodity and agricultural advocacy organizations, industry, animal science, teacher education in agriculture and science, urban and rural ag-ed programs met in Kansas City to determine the content and scope of the project. Determined that needed content was determined to be broader than agricultural issues. A subcommittee of Drs. Jack Albright, John Boyce, Jeff Goodwin and Janice Swanson, commodity representative Earl Dotson and ag-ed instructors Krista Paynton, Eddie Stephens and Cary Trexler met and/or communicated with Project Director regularly for content validity and instructional feasibility. Lessons developed relate to six areas and are entitled:

(LPS) Local Program Success is a national initiative designed to enhance the quality and success of the local agricultural education programs. LPS uses the total program concept of Instruction, SAE and FFA and four strategies of Program Planning, Marketing, Partnerships and Professional Growth, to assist the local teacher in the facilitation of a successful local program that is meeting the needs of its students and community. Who developed Local Program Success? A national task force identified six keys to success in agricultural education: strong classroom and laboratory instruction (contextual learning in school-to-career language); supervised agricultural experience programs (work-based learning); active FFA chapters (a connecting activity between school and careers); strong community and school partnerships; program planning and marketing; and professional and program growth. To help teachers become more successful in each of those areas, work groups of agriculture and education leaders including 30 teachers from 18 states developed steps to success and researched proven best practices used in the nation's top programs.
