Michigan Association of Agriscience Educators


Governor Granholm's 21st Century Jobs Fund Authorized by bipartisan legislation in the fall of 2005, the Fund is investing more than $2 billion in emerging sectors that promise tremendous job growth alternative energy, the life sciences, homeland security, and advanced manufacturing.

Emphasis on diversity… “not placing all your eggs in one basket”

Total enrollment in ANR Education for Michigan was 11,726. This was an increased of 1524 students over last year.

47% (5454) of the enrollment are females. 27% (3125) of the students are in the 12 grade, 25%

(2949) are 11th graders, 24% (2783) are in the 11th grade and the balance 24% (2869) are 9th graders.

28% (3337) of the students studied Plant Science, 28% (3292) Animal Science and 22% (2565) were in a Natural Resources based class.

In Michigan we have 106 programs (high schools and career center based) and 122 teachers.

Did all that really make a difference?

Let’s see what the statistics say…


“Students who take two or more CTE courses are less likely to drop out of high school.”

▪ NCCTE Study 2002, The Ohio State University


“CTE concentrators enroll in postsecondary education immediately after high school at a higher rate.”

▪ NAVE Study 2004, US Department of Education


“8-years after graduation, 53% of CTE concentrators had earned a postsecondary degree or certificate.”



“CTE concentrators who enter the workforce right after high school earn more money.”



“CTE concentrators who work while going to college earn more money.”



“7 years after graduation CTE concentrators earn 2% more for each CTE course taken in high school.”



Why does it work so well?

2. Comprehension explain, rewrite, solve

3. Application apply, compute, organize

4. Analysis analyze, compare, outline

5. Synthesis categorize, create, revise

6. Evaluation appraise, compare, resolve


Psychomotor Domain

1. Imitation assemble, copy, repeat

2. Manipulation acquire, execute, operate

3. Precision achieve, master,

transcend

4. Articulation adapt, alter, revise

5. Naturalization arrange, combine, create

Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Geometry ClassroomObjective: Have the students

compute the length of the hypotenuse on a right triangle when given the length of the legs. For a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, then a2 + b2 = c2



Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Ag ShopObjective: Squaring a 15’ gate

Using the 3-4-5 rule, mark a distance of 3 feet on the side, mark a distance of 4 feet on the bottom, if the corner is square the diagonal distance between the two points will be 5 feet.


Ok lets go back in the classroom. Let’s put the 3-4-5 rule into the equation a2

+ b2 = c2 you have 32 + 42 = 52 . Now let’s see 32 = 9 and 42 = 16 and 52 =

25…so 9 + 16 = 25. Is that correct? This is called the Pythagorean theorem and

the formula can be used to determine if the angle is 90 degrees or if the side is perpendicular to the base. We call this corner square…


Topic: Pythagorean theorem Location: Community ParkObjective: Squaring the concrete

forms for the foundation on a pavilionThe FFA Chapter class has secured a grant to add a pavilion to the community park. The students use the 3-4-5 Rule or Pythagorean theorem to square the foundation. a2 + b2 = c2


Because we all learn differently.

1. 18% of Utah's students never graduate from high school.

Ag Ed Advantage“Students who take two or more Ag Ed courses are less likely to drop out of high school.”


2. 17% of Utah's students complete a 4-year degree.

Ag Ed Advantage“Ag Ed concentrators enroll in and complete postsecondary education at higher rates.”


3. Earning Potential

Ag Ed Advantage “7 years after graduation Ag Ed concentrators earn 2% more for each Ag Ed course taken in high school.”


4. Life bound students

Ag Ed AdvantageAg Ed methodology addresses multiple learning styles and increases student success.


5. Integrated Program

Ag Ed AdvantageDelivering all 3 components of the Ag Ed Program; Class (What to), Lab/SAE (How to), and FFA (Want to) is critical to the success of the program and critical to the success of the student.


6. Rigor

Ag Ed AdvantageAg Ed teachers teach an inch wide and a mile deep providing a deeper understanding and greater transfer of the technical and academic skill.


7. Relevance

Ag Ed AdvantageContextual teaching begins with the Ag Ed curriculum and connects the technical skill to the appropriate academic skill. Real life applications are more obvious.


8. Relationship

Ag Ed AdvantageFFA provides abundant opportunities to learn and develop life skills. Advisors become the caring adult coach so important to student success.


The question is not whether you can make a difference…

But whether you will make a difference!


Deliver the program…

Every Student…

Every Class…

Every Day!
