Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time, we are submitting a new Agriculture course titled Agriculture Projects. Agriculture Projects does meet the UC/CSU requirement as a “G” Elective.
Agriculture Projects is designed to be designated time for students to work on their various hands-on supervised agricultural experience (SAE) projects. A supervised agricultural experience (SAE) is a structured experiential and work-based learning opportunity in school-based agriculture, food, and natural resources programs to extend beyond the classroom in a setting outside of regular school hours to develop an individual student's industry and career-based competencies. SAEs allow students to experience the diversity of agriculture and natural resources industries and to gain exposure to agricultural-related career pathways. SAEs require a documented formal project scope, accurate record keeping, and student advisor supervision. This class would give units towards graduation to those students who have qualifying agriculture projects on or off campus based on the National FFA Organization's list of qualifying SAE projects. This class would give time to the students to work on their projects and create opportunities for one-on-one time with their project advisor for help or guidance on their endeavors.
Students would be graded based on the amount of time spent working on their projects and the quality of their documentation of the project, both financially and in written form. Students can take this class every semester they have a project to work on. Students will meet once a week with the teacher in class to check on progress on ABT record books and answer questions. The student will otherwise use this class period to work on projects or record books independently. Meets the UC/CSU “G” Requirement.
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course.
