3. a visionary document that will enable teachers, students, parents, administrators, and other stakeholders to envision the nature, purpose and role of AgEd/FFA in Louisiana schools;

4. a master plan that:

a. provides substantial depth of content and skills;

b. provides increased collaboration between teachers and students in instructional design;

c. utilizes alternative assessment methodology (other than primarily written objective tests);

e. provides flexibility to teachers in selecting course content and activities based on local needs;

f. prepares students for the 21st century;

g. truly empowers teachers as leaders in the profession;

h. reemphasizes science, mathematics, and communications content of AgEd/FFA curricula;

i. emphasizes foundation skills developed by the Louisiana Content Foundation Skills Standards Task Force and by the Louisiana AgEd/FFA Framework Project Task Force:

i. communication;

ii. problem solving;

iii. resource access and utilization;

iv. linking and generating knowledge;

v. citizenship;

vi. leadership;

vii. career development;

viii. agricultural/occupational experience.

5. a master plan that recognizes that each AgEd/FFA program must be based on the needs of the students and local community. As such, not all AgEd/FFA programs will teach all benchmarks and identified benchmark components. Each AgEd/FFA educator must identify those benchmarks and benchmark components that are appropriate for their students and community.
