Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Agricultural education programs are traditionally composed of three essential components: classroom instruction, supervised work experience, and integrated student career and leadership development activities through the FFA. This three-circle model provides multiple opportunities for students to engage in agricultural education through classroom instruction, experiential learning, and leadership development. While participation in all three components is encouraged to support a well-rounded experience, students may engage in one or more components based on their interests and opportunities available.

While Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ State does not have agriculture specific academic standards, most schools align their agricultural programs with the National Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) Content Standards. The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ categorizes Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs using the Advance CTE Career Clusters framework. Within this system, the majority of agricultural programs are classified under the Agriculture and Energy & Natural Resources career clusters. We also recommend connecting with the Advance CTE Career Clusters for Agriculture and Energy & Natural Resources.Ìý
