Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
Manyof the students with a career goal of becoming an agriculture teacher choose toacquire associate degrees in other areas of agriculture. This certificateprogram allows students to focus on their current degree program whilepreparing for a career in Agriculture Education Upon completion of thecertificate requirements and graduation from Reedley College, most studentswill seek a bachelors of science in Agriculture Education at a partneringuniversity. Additionally, this certificate will allow Reedley Collegestudents to complete courses that are traditionally impacted at transferinstitutions.
Currently, Reedley College offers an AS Degree in AgricultureEducation. Since this degree program was initiated we have found that themajority of students interested in becoming agriculture educators have declaredmajors within specific agriculture disciplines. Although Agriculture Educationis a single subject credential program at the university level, it encompassesall disciplines within the agriculture field (Ag Business, Animal Science,Plant Science, Natural Resources/Forestry, Mechanized Agriculture).
The objective of this certificate is to allow students withan interest in becoming an agriculture teacher, experience the secondaryagriculture classroom through our AGED-50 course (Orientation in AgricultureEducation) which meets the university of California requirement for forty-fivehours of classroom observation and participate in leadership development throughthe AGBS-8 (Agriculture and Natural Resources Ambassadors) course.Additionally, students must complete a minimum of nine (9) semester units ofinstruction from one (1) of the five (5) agriculture pathway disciplines.
