Atwater FFA

The Agricultural Education Program


The agricultural education program is built on the three core areas of classroom/laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experience (SAE) programs and FFA student organization activities/opportunities. The program is designed for delivery through these three components as follows:

Classroom/Laboratory Instruction – quality instruction in and about agriculture that utilizes a “learning by doing” philosophy.

Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs – all students are expected to have an agriculturally related work-based learning experience while enrolled in agricultural education courses.

FFA Student Organization Activities/Opportunities – FFA activities are an integral part of the agricultural education program that all agricultural education students should participate in if they are to fully benefit from their enrollment in the program.
