1. Designing Instruction in Agricultural Education Lesson Plans and Assessments

2. Learning Target  I can identify and analyze the parts of a Kentucky lesson plan  I can develop a lesson plan  I can develop a Standards Based assessment

3. :Identify and analyze the parts of a Kentucky lesson plan

4.  What are the components of a lesson plan?  Includes: name, date, grade level, subject, and topic  Learning Target – this clearly states your broad goals and specific objectives for learning (concepts, procedures, skills you want students to learn  Core Content/Academic Expectations – Identify and explain how your objectives relate to Core Content for Assessment  Materials – List materials that will be used during the lesson. Attach print material to be used with students (worksheets, open responses)  Procedures – Describe the strategies and activities you will use to involve students and accomplish your objectives (group work, lab, lecture) – need to include review from the day before and a recap of the day’s lesson – most important part of the lesson  Student Assessment – Clearly state how you will assess student progress. This will vary among school districts.

5. Activity Develop a Lesson Plan

6. Directions  Using the format on the following page for a lesson plan, design a lesson of your choice for a group of elementary students in regards to a subject in agriculture. The lesson must be 30 minutes in length.

8. Develop a Standards Based Assessment

9.  Objective 2: Develop a Standards Based assessment  The test should contain 10 multiple choice test questions  each question should have four possibilities  each possibility should be similar in length  do not include a response with the following phrases: all of the above, none of the above  The test should contain an open response item.  open response should have at least 3 parts they have to answer  when answering students should put the letter or number of the part they are answering

10.  The test should be aligned to state content standards including:  KY Core Content in Science, Math, Reading, and Writing  KY Occupational Skills Standards  - Currently Agricultural Education is tested in three areas: Horticulture, Production Crop, Production Livestock. Agribusiness is currently being developed. Students that are completers in these areas (three or more classes with a B or higher in the class) can be register to take a Skills Standard test. If a student passes, they will receive 3 free hours of college credit at one of the state’s public universities – UK, WKU, Morehead State, Murray State, and EKU.

11. Activity Standards Based Assessment

12. Directions  Using a unit from an agriculture class, develop a Standards Based assessment. Beside each question, list the Core Content Standard and/or KOSSA Standard. The test should consist of 10 multiple choice question and one open response question. The open response question should be based on a KOSSA released item in one of the agricultural education areas  The Core Content Standards can be found at: http://www.kde.state.ky.us/KDE/ http://www.kde.state.ky.us/KDE/  Core Conent  Core Cotent for Assessment  Release Items Annotated to the DOK (provides examples of multiple choice questions)  The KOSSA Standards can be found at: www.education.ky.gov/KDE/Instructional+Resources/Career+ and+Technical+Education/  Skills Standards and Assessments  Skill Standard Documents  Find Agriculture Area (Horticulture, Production Crop, and Production Livestock)
