Section LXV-303 - Unifying Concepts and ProcessesA. Students are taught decision-making skills and provided opportunities to take responsibility for significant events and projects in the AgEd/FFA program. These opportunities require hands-on, applied activities that address the student's individual development in several areas: career development, leadership skills, workplace readiness, safety awareness, business management and marketing, and group and organizational skills. These skills are based on concepts taught in academic subjects and students are taught to apply these concepts to life in the real world. Since agriculture is the application of science, providing science credit for AgEd/FFA serves the student's educational needs while also incorporating current trends in science education. AgEd/FFA also incorporates the applications approach for mathematics, language arts and communications, and other academic areas.B. In addition to the integration with academic subjects, there is a broad spectrum of careers in agriculturally related fields. AgEd/FFA serves as a career path for those students who choose to enter agricultural occupations. AgEd/FFA courses, in tandem with appropriate academic and elective courses, prepare students to enter college, pursue post-secondary education, or enter the workforce upon graduation.La. Admin.
