| Abstract: | This guide contains suggested units of instruction for the first two years of instruction in secondary vocational agriculture. It is intended to aid teachers and administrators in planning instructional programs to equip students with essential basic competencies required for more specialized programs. Instructor materials include information on use of the guide for general curriculum development and as a specific planning document and a yearly unit-time outline. The competency-based units of instruction are divided into the following areas: agricultural program (impact of agriculture and agricultural programs on society), leadership (Future Farmers of America, leadership development, the supervised occupational experience program), agribusiness (leadership, working in agribusiness, sales and service skills, distribution and marketing, management, records and procedures), mechanics (shop management and safety, drawing and sketching, use of hand tools, hardware, basic carpentry and construction, hot metal skills, cold metal, welding, tractor and machinery operation and safety, basic electricity, small gas engines), animal science (livestock selection, management, feeding, health and care), and plant science (plant growth and reproduction, soils, soil conservation, fertilizers, field crop management, range management, horticulture, crop pest management, chemicals). Each unit consists of a list of performance objectives and a listing of selected references. (YLB) |
