Kristyn Sheets, agriscience educator at Magnet Cove High School, recently attended an 8-day professional development institute at Arkansas Tech University to teach the Principles of Agricultural Science -- Plant Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education course.
CASE is an instructional system that is working the culture of agriculture programs in the United States through intense teacher professional development; inquiry-based, student-focused lessons; assessment; and certification.
CASE equips teachers to elevate student experiences in the agriculture classroom and is designed to prepare students for success in college and careers emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math.
While at the CASE Institute, Sheets spent 65 hours working through nearly every lesson in the year-long curriculum and learning how to deliver lessons in an inquiry-based way that will shift focus in the classroom from teacher-led instruction to student-directed learning.
