Well this is Day One of the FFA Week 2012 I Believe Challenge and today's blog topic: Agricultural Education. So obviously I have a few things to write since I have chosen Agricultural Education as my career path. OK, Here it goes.
"I Believe in Agricultural Education"
Agricultural Education is a very important topic in my life. I believe that agriscience teachers have a larger impact on students' lives than any other teacher does. These teachers spend more time investing in students' lives than most other teachers. Everything from the early morning drive to competitions to the late night open houses and parent-teacher nights.
Agricultural education offers so much more than most education programs. The FFA's motto says it all "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve." Doing to Learn is exactly what agricultural education is all about. Rather than sitting sitting in a classroom and listening about how to do something, agricultural education offers the opportunity to actually learn by doing.
Agricultural Education is not only based on agriculture but leadership and service as well. A HUGE part of the curriculum centers around the importance of being a leader, following leadership and serving the community. Agricultural Education betters the lives of students and changes them for the better.
Agricultural Education, offers students many different opportunities for learning. Everything is covered from record-keeping, business skills, public speaking, leadership, and of course, agricultural skills.
I believe in Agricultural Education because it is building and shaping our future leaders. It is an important component to our country's education and I will stand behind it 100%.
