SPRINGPORT AGRISCIENCE PROGRAM
HISTORY
1917 – Smith-Hughes Act created Vocational Agriculture
1928 – Future Farmers of America began November 4, 1940 – Springport Vocational
Agriculture Program Began 1969 – Girls were allowed in FFA 1990 – Agriscience became a term in
Michigan 1991 - Science Credit was granted for
Agriscience Programs in Michigan 1998 – Springport began to offer science
credit for agriscience courses
IS THIS SCIENCE OR VOCATIONAL?
BOTH: There are 2 sets of standards from the State
of Michigan that programs have to meet HSCE for Biology CTE Standards
01.000 Agriculture, Agriculture Operations and Related Sciences
CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Teacher Vocational Certification Meet CTE Segments and Standards (which
includes having a student organization – FFA) Create Program Completers Have an Advisory Committee Meet Facility Requirements Have Work-based Learning (SAEs) TRAC Audits (Technical Review Assistance
and Compliance) State-Approved Programs are then eligible to
receive Federal Carl D. Perkins (Perkins Act) dollars and matching State funds
01.000 AGRICULTURE, AGRICULTURE OPERATIONS AND RELATED SCIENCES 1. Safety 2. Animal Anatomy & Physiology 3. Animal Genetics and Reproduction 4. Domestic Animal Production 5. Animal Health & Nutrition 6. Plant Anatomy Physiology 7. Soils & Plant Nutrition 8. Plant Culture and Propagation 9. Natural Resource Systems 10. Environmental Service Systems 11. Agricultural Business & Marketing 12. Career Readiness & Leadership
SPRINGPORT AGRISCIENCE SEGMENTS
Biology-Botany - Segments: 1 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 11 (Biology credit & elective Science credit for graduation when combined with Biology-Zoology)
Biology-Zoology - Segment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 10 - 12 (Biology credit & elective Science credit for graduation when combined with Biology-Botany)
ADDITIONAL AGRISCIENCE COURSES
Mechanical and Technical Systems - Segments: Q (Art credit for graduation)
Genetics & Ag Research - Segment: Q (Elective Science credit for graduation)
Ag Finance & Leadership - Segment: Q (Math credit when taken as 4th year math requirement for graduation)
Ag Internship - Segment: Q (can be completed only after a student has finished all other segments)
A COMPLETE AGRISCIENCE PROGRAM INVOLVES:
Classroom and Laboratory Students gain knowledge and skill
Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Projects Students apply knowledge and skills to gain
experience Leadership through FFA
Students apply knowledge and skills to gain leadership skills
COMPLETERS / CONCENTRATORS
Concentrators are identified after they complete at least 7 segments with a grade of 2.0 or better. These students must complete the assessment at the time they exit the program.
Completer's are students that completes all 12 segments with a grade of 2.0 or better and take the technical skill assessment, if available. Students will receive an endorsement on their diploma. Bio-Botany Bio-Zoology
FUNDING
200 Students in agriscience classes (this includes internship
students)
$150 Amount district receives per student (Sample Added Cost
Factor)
0.92 Per student per hour of contact time per day (we contact
each student 55 minutes per day)
$27,600 Amount generated by the agriscience program in state-aide
and paid to the district if compliant with all CTE Standards
