Tips for creating Program(s) of Study:
10
1. You MUST work with a community college agriculture program to identify the postsecondary courses in a specific program.
11
2. MATH - Use it or lose it.
12
Some research studies indicate that students who do NOT take math during their senior year in high school may be more likely to need math remediation in college. (Programs of Study may help to encourage students to take a math course during their senior year. Or, assure that a significant quantity of problem solving is integrated in senior-level CTE courses.)
13
3. Courses that are NOT required to graduate from high school, may be left blank. (ie., Fine Arts, foreign Language).
14
4. Courses required to graduate from high school MUST be included.
15
5. Create MULTIPLE Plans of Study: Ag. Bus., Agronomy, Animal Science, etc.
16
6. If you offer Dual-Credit (Concurrent enrollment) courses, you may want to add numbers to represent the value of pursuing this Plan/Program of Study.
