Ag Teacher's Resource Kit

http://www.flagsafe.ufl.edu/publications/res-kit.html

The Ag Teacher's Resource Kit was developed a couple of years ago for majors in the University of Florida's Agricultural Education and Communication Department. It was first presented to them before they went out for their first teaching assignments. The Kit has now become a standard part of the course Special Methods in Teaching Agriculture.
Students are presented with the materials assembled in a 3" binder. A 2-hour block of time is allocated where the contents are described and reviewed. Recommendations or examples are also discussed for how the materials can be used in the classroom.
The Kit has also been used as the basis of a workshop for teachers already in the field. In summer 2005, a 2-day workshop was held at the University of Florida for middle, junior and senior high school teachers. In addition to distributing and presenting the kit, attendees actually worked through several of the activities as if they were students.
