Curriculum Enhancements 

The ONLY way this platform will work is if YOU contribute to it!

The resources and lesson enhancements available will be teacher driven! Content will be divided into Ag Science I, Ag Science II, and then the six pathways: Ag Econ/Business, Ag Mechanics, Animal Science, Food Science, Plant Science, and Natural Resources.

You will need to “Make a copy” (under “File” menu) of any material you want to edit and use.  Requests for access to edit will NOT be granted.

Here are examples of welcomed submissions:

  • Any curriculum formatted into a google-friendly format (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.)
  • Assessments/Evaluations
  • Teaching Calendars/Unit Plans
  • Videos
  • Detailed Lesson Plans
  • Activity guides
  • Project descriptions & rubric
