Curriculum Dev in P-5 Ag Ed

This course will explore various models in designing P-5 curriculum. Additionally, students will examine factors which have influenced curriculum development in P-5 education. Students will build knowledge that teaching and learning with children at the P-5 level is a complex enterprise, and that curricular development varies depending on educational objectives, the age of the child, personal characteristics, and the setting within which teaching, and learning occurs. They will use their awareness of P-5 learners, the educational environment, and agriculture content to develop curriculum. Assessment strategies will be addressed to help students make decisions about teaching and learning and gather information about their students' performance, behavior and monitoring of P-5 students.Prerequisite(s): Reserved for upper-level division students.
