Welcome to the aEE 529 Webpage
In this course, our focus will be the process of developing curriculum for agricultural and extension education. Curriculum is a term that has many definitions so we will begin the course by defining curriculum. We will then examine social, economic and philosophical reasons for the evolution of Career and Technical Education curriculum in our public schools. By examining the history of Career and Technical Education and the philosophies of its’ founders, we will reflect on the past and analyze current curricular needs. We will also study and learn to use efficient, sound models and decision making processes by developing the curriculum framework for one Agricultural and Extension Education course or program.
