Mississippi State Univ., State College. Dept. of Agricultural Education.
The purpose of the project was to develop innovative agricultural education programs within the comprehensive high school setting in selected school districts in the state of Mississippi, with the project's second year (described here) focusing on continuing existing specialized career preparation program in agriculture and continuing to orient teachers toward the following: techniques necessary to successfully plan, develop, implement, and evaluate innovative agricultural career preparation programs which would provide preprofessional preparation; the ability to secure and use technical subject matter, knowledge, and skills necessary for the operation of programs; supervisory, educational, and technical assistance so that the products of the program will have developed skills necessary for entry-level employment or for further career preparation. The project resulted in the establishment of specialized career preparation programs in agriculture in the local schools and stimulated the redirection of programs in the state. The major portion of this document (100 pages) is comprised of appendixes which include (1) detailed outlines for instruction in beef cattle, sheep, and swine and a general sketch of a separate laboratory building for instructional programs in livestock production, (2) sample units of instruction in agricultural supplies and services and a sample individual learning package, (3) outlines of instructional content in seven specialized courses, (4) agendas for teacher workshops, and (5) findings of the third party evaluators.
