Good News
• In 2011 the Animal Science Program at the Arlington Career Center was named one of three Career and Technical Education Exemplary Program.
• Program includes internships with zoos, shelters, an equine medical center, animal hospitals, National Park Service, US Department of Agriculture and pet daycare facilities. Many graduates pursue post-secondary education in the animal-science field, including some who aspire to become veterinarians.

Question
What is the average age of a school building?
The National Center for Educational Statistics notes that 40 Years is the average age of schools in the US.
Must develop a vision for the labs that will provide opportunities for the students when the building opens
and for the future.
13
Review Process
• Develop a vision for an animal science program that will prepare students for multiple post-secondary pathways in the agricultural industry.
• Review state competencies for each course offered.
• Identify career opportunities in the field and look at market needs.
• Identify stackable credentials for future inclusion in the program.
• Review and identify equipment needs.
• Develop a list of animals needed to meet the state approved competencies.
• Identify space needs which align to competencies requirements.

Moving Forward
Purchase needed equipment for the program
Strategies:• Identify equipment that is used in local
veterinary clinics.
• Obtain quotes and develop a timeline for purchase.
21
Moving Forward
Purchase needed software for the program
Strategies:• Identify software that is used in local veterinary
clinics.• Obtain quotes and develop a timeline for purchase.
22
Moving Forward
Provide the opportunity for students to gain additional state approved industry credentials.
Strategies: Gather information on identified state approved
credentials and develop a plan to add to existing credentials.
23
Moving Forward
Incorporate identified areas of need into our new facility to prepare students for their future education and career pathway.
Strategies:Include exam areas, washing and grooming
area, and a reception area in the new facility.
24
Moving Forward
Focus on small animals as required by the competencies and discontinue the use of farm animals from the Animal Science program.
Strategies:Identify work-based learning opportunities that
could be enhanced giving students' experiences with various animals not at the Career Center.
Find a caring location for the existing animals that will be relocated.
25
What We Learned
Involving a variety of stakeholders in the visioning process ensures continual strengthening of the programs.
This process will be used with the other program areas.
26
Opportunities for Improvement
• Honor that instruction should precede construction.
• Change is always hard but necessary to strengthen a program.
• Support these recommendations moving forward.
• The additional equipment and software will be put in upcoming Perkin plans.
• Facility upgrades will be incorporated in the new building plans.
