Backeiround

In recent years, agricultural educatorsand others have become increasingly extra that (1) agricultureand farming are no longersynony- mous and (2) a broad complex of agriculturalbusinesses and aervicas have evolved which facilitate thework of the farmer and rancher inproduction agriculture. Consequently, leadersin aViculturaleducation, in consort with other keygroups, have undertaken an extensive researchprogram to identity workers who requirea knowledge of agriculture to nerform their -t jobs successfully and toidentify major agricultural competenciesthey might need.The need for sucha program was farther underscored bypas- sage of the Vocational EducationAct of 1963 which gave vocationaleducation in agriculturea broadened responsibility toprepare workers "... in any occupationinvolving knowledge and skills inagricultural subjects, whether or not suchoccupation involves work of the farmor of the farm home. . ."

The National Center forAdvanced Study and Research inAgricultural Education, in cooperationwith the Agricultural EducationBranch of the U. S. Office of Education,sponsored two national researchcoordination conferences to facilitateresearch in this area.

The first of thesecc ferences was held May27-29, 1963,with state staff members from fourteenstates participating.The following were the major purposes ofthe conference:

1. To maximize the pOssibilitiesfor coordinating and achieving comonality in the agriculturaloccupations studies beingcon- ducted by the several stateswithout violating the integrity of individual statestudies;

2. To provide other states withresulting materials and toen- co-arage comparable studies.

The Second Research CoordinationConference was held at The Center on January 13-15, 1964,with state-staffrepresentatives of twenty-one states participating. The major purposes of this conferencewere:

1. TO 'develop wiser' isation procedureswhich would facilitate national interpretation ofdata;

1 2. To develop-guidelinesfor 'establishing OM evaluating pilot programs growing out of the studies Onagricultural occupations. The 7..ationale underlying these two conferences and this particular project was:(1) that individual states were faced with the common problem of identifying needed adjustments and modifications in their curricular offerings in vocational agriculture;and (2) that by pooling resourcits ,and tale*, it would be possible to supplement and reinforce iadfl qtate efforts.Furthermore, it was apparent to agricultural educatord end others, that a sustained, coordinated natioral effort would be more effective in serving the agricultural industry tt In would a series of isolated individual projects.The broader base provi led by the coordinated approach minimized duplication of effort erti privided individual states with greater confidence in developing their programs than if intrastate data were utilized. By December 15, 1964, six states had completed or were completing surveys concerning the needs for education of persons seeking employment opportunities in agricultural occupations.

METHOD :Decent of the Pro eat in December of 1904 Dean Roy N. Kottman and members of the College of Agriculture and Home Feconcedes of The Ohio State University, recognizing thi importance end immensity of the task being undertaken, made available a short-term allocation of funds for initiating this project. On December .1, 1964, the director and the two associate project leaders be-began outlining activities' and the scheduleto be followed it attaining the project's. objectives. I

Dr. H. M. Hamlin, Professor Emeritus of Vocational Education,Uni- versity of=moistassumed responsibilities as an associate project leader.Di." Hamlin is a national]; recognized leader in vocationaland technica3. education end a former Chairman ofthe Division ofVocational andTee:WealEducation at the University of Illinois.Dr. Glenn Z. Stevens, Professor of Agricultural Education, Pennsylvania State Univer- sity, and Chairman of the Research Committee of the American Vocational Association, ogreed to serve as a co-leader of the project and began work December as an associate project leader. ,,- During the first week of December, 1964,plans were made to invite fifteen teacher educators, tea3hers of vocational agriculture, supervisory

staff perionnelp and a representative of the National Acadenw of Sciences . to in-.advlsorY meetingwith the task force personnel. ',- 1 The second week in December was used by task force personnel to hold personal conferences with directors of the different state occupatiwal stings, SupertisorS, and teacher educators in attendance at the pkofeisiesal meetings of the Agricultural Education Division of the Ameri- can Vocational Association.Colaiiention in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Repre- I es of 'sore than thirty states were contacted at this meeting.

, _ I First Project Advisory Committee Meeting The first advisory committee meeting was held on January 14 and 15, 2965,to make recommendations to the project task force.Cosmittee members worked on two major problems:(1) sunnta.rization of employment opportunities, and (2) directionto be taken inthe development ofcurricu- lummaterials.

Reactions to thefollowing specific questions were sought from advisory committee members:

1. What proceduresshould be employed to effectively summarize state studies? 2.For what major occupational clusters should training be offered? 3.What are the implications for Standard Industrial Classification of Agricultural Occupations? (Prepare a master list of job titles.)

4.What are the entry opportunities inagricultural occupations? 5.What are the implications for high school and post high school curricular offerings? 6.How many programs of a given type should there be in a state? 7.What should be the relationship of educational offerings for job entry and continuing education in that program? 8.How should the length of training programs and the level of preparation be determined? 9.What should be the relationship between course offerings and occupational experience .programs? 10.What consideration should be given to the problem of intensive short courses versus part-time evening. classes? 11.What can be done to cope with the situation where workers

are residing in locations distant to job- centers ?,, _ 32.Who should assist in curriculum development (cultural education, agricultural industry, other vocational services, trade associations, manpower economics, economics, sociology, etc.)? 13.Should the concern of the.ccomittee inc,ude tho total spectrum of agricultural occupations (professional to semi-skilled)? 14.What administrative requirements should te considered in program development? a.Organizational structure b.Policy formation c. Finances

d. Setting and type of institution

15. What factors should be consideredin state-wide master planning?

16. What should be thefunction of the teacher-traininginstitution?

17. What kind of people shouldbe reached with occupational education programs in agriculture?

18. Whai factors shouldbe considered in program developmentbelow the baccalaureate level? Dour suggested curriculums, basedon the preliminary data available from ten state studies,were presented to the advisory committee for their consideration. These suggestionswere: ;

Selection (214...ftlreas and Curricular Materials to beDeveloped

As a result of the January advisory ccomittee meeting,the project task force rersonnel )greed during the staffmeeting on January 19 that ,he following items '-ere basic to the project'ssuccess?.

1. Occ*.2ational areas should be identified that afford the erpatest number of entry opportunities. 2.These occupational areas should be further delineated into cat goriesitichhave the greatest implications for agricultural training.

3.Occupational areas should be identified thatare common to the greatest. number of states. 4.Training programs that have a record of successitzloperation should be identified eu utilized in developing curricular mtzterials.

6 5.Mterials developed Should emphasize the personal attributes needed for successful job entry and tenure as well as the occupational competencies. On jenuary 20, 1965, the project task force decided to develop curricular materials in four separate areas and in four different levels of preparation.This was done on the basis of advisory committee recommendations and summarization 6ate available pertaining to training needs in agricultural occupations.

Three criteriawerefollowed in selecting these areas and levels: (1) they were to be broadly applicable to all carts of the nation; (2) the" were to be typically illustrative of the type of program which could be developed by local schools with needs in these areas or in similar areas; and (3) they were not to duplicate previouslycompleted efforts. It was considered necessary to develop materials which would be illustrative of the tepe of program which could be developed for socio- economically handicapped individuals withinthe secondary school setting. The area of horticulture was selected for this purpose. Preliminary data and the opinions from representatives of agricultural business on projected needs ware deciding factors in the preparation of illustrative materials for a technician program in agricultural chemicals technology at the post high school level.Further, recent materials produced by other agencies in the forestry area seemed to indicate less urgent needs for development in thatarea.The areas and types of programs finally selected to be developed follow. 1.Horticulture- Service Occupations a.Grades 11 and 12 for a program at the "semi-skilled" level of preparation for students with a disadvantaged background b.Duration of program to beone to two years 2.k...icultural Supply- Sales and Service Occupations a.Grades 13. end. 12 for a two-year program at the "skilled" level of preparation b.Post high school program at the "skilled" level of preparation which could be extended over several yeers 3.P.vicultural Machinery- Service Occupations a.Post high school level cluster of training needs for five different occupational titles b.Duration of program could be extended over zeveral years

7 4. Agricultural Chemicals Technology a.Post high school program in a co:els.unity college setting at the technician level of preparation b.Duration of peetgaa to -be tro yews At this time basic proceduree were identified to be follo:Ted by the task force in the develo pment and preparation of instructional materials.The general procedures felleen 1.Conduct a nationwide search to identify personnel and/or program that are capable of making contributions to the project. 2.Visit successfUl programs, interrogate persons associated with these programs, and Prepare detailed critiques of the programs visited which could be the guidelines for the development of curricular materials,Identify problems and successtil features of these peogrs.te. 3.Synthesize materials that have been assembled.

4. Critically analyze, modify, rewrite, and develop materials emphasizing the ccmpetencies identified. as being necessary for successful job perfOrmance in the different state studies of occupational needs. 5.Prepare materials in depth in each area specified and include examples of a number of programs in other areas. At the task force meeting in January, sites were selected for the five area meetings which were to follow the national meeting in May. use meetings were designed to assist the different states in planning and evaluating pilot programs in agricultural occupations.Sites tenta- tively selected were:Montgomery, Alabama; Denvert Colorado; Chicago or Champaign, Ilrnois; New York City, New York; and Seattle, Washington. Dates for these aeetings were to be determined later. Dr. Stevens was asked to contact and solicit tie services of persons, who could assist him in the sumlerization of the different state studies.February 22, 1965, was. set as the meeting date for sharing data from the state studies in wicultural occupations with other vocational services, employment agencies, and industrial personnel to secure their res.ction, and cements. Eelaiblications As the project evolved, it became apparent that there was a need for an, additional set of publications which would corzelsze.yet the four sets of curricular materials.The titles for oe _,accoopagling publications had not been deterziised, but the genera content would be developed to:

& 1. Provide information to laymenon the need, pioneering achievements, progress of individuals vho have beenso trained, the demand for treired personnel, thescope of the field, conditions needed forsuccess, and the cooperation with different industries and educationalagencies. This publication would be of value to employers ofworkers in agricultural occupations, state and nationallegisla- tors, editors, and others important in shaping public opinion.

2. Adapt portions of the off-farm agriculturaloccupations materials for use by the newspapers, radio,and television.

3. Assist state-level policy- making bodies, state superintendents, state department personnel, college anduniversity administra- tors, and college personnel in occupationaleducation.

4. Assist state boards and administratorsin local and area schools with the policy and administrativedecisions to be made in launching newprograms.

5. Provide material for teachers in local andarea schools to assist them in organizing and conductingprograms in off-farm agricultural occupations, especially theoccupational. experience phase of such programs.

6. Report the research findings of cooperatingstates in the area of off-farm agricultural occupetions.

7. Organize the research data into possible instructionalareas and provide occupational guidance informationfor teachers and counselors.

At the end of January, 1965, stepswere taken to identify persons in the different states who would be availableto wo:t at The Center with the project leaders in summarizingdata from state studies andpre- paring the developmental materials outlinedabove.

Staff Personnel

The project was fundedon February 15, 1965, permitting the project leaders to complete arrangements for task forcepersonnel.Dr. George Luster, Associate Professor of Vocational.Education, University of Ken- tucky, began working on March 1.,on the overall development of curricular materials.This included working with task forcepersonnel to develop a format for the materials and to coordinatethe instructional, materials development.He later developed speLific materials in theagricultural supply- sales and service occupational area.

Mr. Alan Kehler, former teacher ofvocational agriculture in Nebraska and teaching assistant in the Departmentof Agricultural. Education at Iowa State University, came to the Projecton tir-dh 1, 1965. His primary responsibility was to develop curricularmaterials in agricultural machinery-

9 service occupations at the post highschool level. Mr. Howard Dowels, teacher of vocational agriculture inFremont, Ohio, began working March 1, developing materials for thearea of agricultural supply- sales and, service occupations. Mr. /Towels first concearated his effortson the high school programs.Mr. James Utzinger, a teacher of vocationalhorticulture in the Grove City, Ohio, schools beganworking on March 22, to develop the curricular materials in horticulture- service occupations.He was assisted during the month of July byMr. Peter J. Wotoweic, teacher of vocational hakticulture at West TechnicalHigh School, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. William Becker, teacher of vocationalagriculture at Janesville, Wisconsin, had developeda program in off-farm occupations in cooperation with the Department of Agriculturaland Extension Education of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin.Mr. Becker began working with Mr. Dowels in thearea of agricultural supplyon April 5, 1965. AU of thew. men were recognized as outstanding'teachers and had experiencein the specific area in which they were developing materials.

Mr. Donald Seaman, graduate student inagricultural education at The Ohio State University, began assisting Dr. Stevens on April 1 with . the summarization of data from thedifferent state studies. Mr. Wiliam Stevenson, Oklahoma State Universitystaff member and director of a state occupational needs study, spent two months,beginning June 1, working with Dr. Stevens summarizing and analyzingoccupational data from the different states.

Rowels became ill and upon doctors' adviceresigned from the project on April 30.Mr. Becker then assumed primary responsibilityfor the area of agricultural supplyand was assisted by Dr. Julius H. Isintner, former assistant state supervisor ofagricultural education in Ohio, who began working on the project on May1.

Dr. Jerry J. Halterman, Dean of Agriculture,Chico State College, Chico, California,was responsible for developing materials in agricultural chemicals technology.

Mr. Harold Anderson, formerly AssistantProfessor of Agricultural Education, Colorado State University,began working July 1, on materials for planning and conductingoccupational experienceprograms in off-farm agriculture.

Ur. Ramsey M. Groves, formerly teacherof vocational agriculture in New Mexico and a doctoral candidateat The Ohio State University, worked part-time on the total project.

Mr. Robert V. Kerwood, formerly AssistantProfessor of Ag-lcultural Education, West Virginia University,and currently a doctoral candidate and Research Associate at The Center,assisted in coordinating the final publication of all materials in theproject.

Dr. Glenn Stevens, Professor ofAgricultural Education at Pennsyl- vania State University, asSumedthe major responsibility for thepublication in Guidance for Off-FarmAgricrature.

10 In August, 1965, Dr. James W. Hensel, formerly AssistantProfessor, University of Wisconsin, joined the professional staffat The Center as Specialist in Agricultural Education.He assu? ...rad the role of coordinating the final publication of the Agricultural ChemicalsTechnology end. Guid- ance materials and of cceroleting the final requirements of the project grant. Dr. James E. Christiansen, Assistant Professor, Universityof Florida, worked as a project staff member duringhis final year of graduate work at The Ohio State University.His major responsibilities were in preparing the final drafts for publication,based on the technical. and editorial reviews.Dr. Christiensen alsowroie the original draft for the final report of the project and. servedas a reviewer for the Agricul- tural Chemicals Technology publication.

12 Second Project Advisory Committee Meeting

As task force efforts progressed, it was thought advantageous to again invite people knowledgeable in thearea of off-farm agricultural occupations to an advisory meeting on arch 15, 1965.The purpose of this meeting was to test the plans, proposals, and alternatives suggested by staff with the advisorygroup. It was hoped that the group would offer comments ane suggestions concerning the plans for the developmentof materials for programs of of" -farm occupational education thatwere being considered by task force personnel.The list of persons attending this advisory meeting is includedas Appendix "C."The group included representatives of agricultural machinery dealerships, teaser educators works ing with programs in depressed areas of the deep Soteh, rooresentative of a curricular materials service, representatives from the divisionof vocational guidance tn a state department of education,a personnel development director for a large Farm Bureau cooperative,a teacher educator from the field of distributive education, and the ChiefsAgricultural OccUpations, United States Office of Education.

The persons attending this advisory meeting provided task force personnel with specific direction in theprogram development and curricular aspects of the project.The general format of the curricular materials proposed by task force personnelwas accepted and endorsed by this advisory group. A specific outgrowth of the advisory meetingwas the design for a national advisory meeting to be heldin April.

Another outgrowth of this meetingwas the establishment of channels of communication betweenpersons in education and persons representing different power structures in agricultural business and industries.The two-way line of communications established herepaved tile way for increased understanding and appreciation of mutualconcerns in both the national meetings and area meetings which followed.These contacts with people fran industry reinforced and accentuated the need for establishing programs in off-farm occupations.

Activities prior to April Advisory Meetinl

During the month of March, dates and locationswere established for five regional conferences on developingprograms for off -farm agricultural occupations to be held during the months ofMay and June. It was necessary to shift the southern area conference from Montgomery, Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia. The1e conferences were to serve state staff and local level personnel Who would be developingnew types of programs in off-farm occupations.During March, most of the project staff personnel responsible for developing curricular materials began theirwork. Sched- ules were established for visits to key programs in off-farm occupations across the nation.Among the programs visited during March and the following months were:

Agricultural Supply Forsyth Technical Institute Winston Salem, worth Carolina

13 Agricultural Supply Raidland High School Paducah, Kentucky Agricultural Supply Springfield Senior* High School Springfield, Ohio AgriculturalSupply and Northeastern Junior College Agricultural Chemicals Technology Sterling, Colorado Horticulture Camden County Joint Vocational School Merchentville, New Jersey Horticulture Rockland County Center of Technology and Education West Nyack, New York Horticulture Philadelphia High School for Horticulture Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Agricultural Machinery Alexandria Area Technical School Alexandria, Minnesota Agricultural Machinery Jefferson High School Jefferson, Ohio

These programs were identifiedon the basis of recamenditions made by persons acquainted with theneeds in off-farm agriculturaloccupations and emerging programs.In addition, an examination 0:materials concern ing these prograis prepared bypeople involved in thee servedas a basis for selection.Materials were graciously itrnigthedto the project staff by persons conducting theprograms, Also, during March, decisionswere made concerning the length of the programs for whichmaterials were to be developed on.:thebasis of the preliminary data already receivedand summiri.zed from state occupational studies.In analyzing data from the differentstates, task force personnel were reminded thata lack of .comparative .data made theproess of analyzing information fornatton-idde application extremely difficult. Itwatiobvious that it T.Pould take longerthan had been orlapinally antici- pated to develop usableconellsions based upon these data. Easedupon factor ant.drsis andextrapolation, common elements free thedevelopmental research studies were Aram andsynthesined.for use by pgojact personnel. Priorities were established for thedevelopment of the specific materials whichwere to be outgrowths, of this project. Highpriority was given to the preparation of thepublication pertaining to there- search findings of the variousstates. High priority was alas givento the development of those materialswhich would serve u guidelines in pokyend extministrative decisions forpersons undertaking new programs in off -farm occupations.It was necessary to put greater emphasison

3.4 these program developmentalmaterials because peoplein schools across the nation would needthis type of assistancebefore they could intelli- gently plan newprograms ana utilize the instructional developed. materials being It was alsonecessary during this period todevelop working definitions of termssuch as "technical education,""vocational skills," and "occupational education"to Darnish acarman ground of understanding.

National Advi Meeting for DevelopingPrograms of Education in_...MfrmAgricultural. Occupations On April5and6,1965, forty-onepersons from across the nation met on thecampus of The Obio StateUniversity as a nationalproject advisory committee togive direction to thedevelopment of educational programs in this area.These people representedvocational agriculture, trade associations,other vocationalservices, different institutional settings, supportingdisciplines, and businessand industrial organizations directlyassociated with off-farmagriculture. from sociolov,rural cociolory, Representatives tion, state agricultural economics,teacher educa- supervisory staffs,community colleges, landgrant colleges, and area vocationalschools attended thisconference. A complete list of those whoattended. has beenincluded as Appendix "Do"

The persons participatingin this conferencewere chargedwith providing taskforce personnel with specific counsel andsuggestions to be consideredin preparingprogram development and curriculum Among the items presented materials. by the advisorycommittee to the task force for considerationwere the following:

1.Materials to be developedmust consider theage and maturity level requiredby:prospective employers.

2. There is a need. for more programs at the post highschool level.

3. SuccessAil programs cannot be developed unlesscooperation with the off-farm business orindustries concerned isobtained. A joint responsibility exists between industryand education for the in-service education or retrainingof present employees. Because more verticalintegration is takingplace among com- panies engaged inoff-farm cu tune, fewer companieswith larger n-umbers ofemployees needingmore uniform programs of pre-employment and in-serviceeducation will result. 5. .Programs such as those proposed cannotoperate effectively unless local or area advisory councilsare utilized to help guide and directthe program. 6. Attention should begiven to proceduresfor updating the materialbdeveloped by this particularproject.

15 7 1 . In some instances, it is necessary to seek out the adviceof persons in those businesses and industries in off-farmoccupa- tional areas who areon the "growing edge," and are facing problems in training personnel thatthe vast majority of such businesses have not yet faced.

8. There is a need for continuing, systematicresearch on both the immediate employment andlong-range projected needs.

9. Schools have a responsibility for teachingoccupational "fundamentals"; industry hasthe responsibility for moving men and women ahead within the job and organization.

10. The need for competency incommunicati-ns skills, such as reading, writing, working with-people (human relations), and developing proper personal attitudes,was also expressed by some business and industry people attendingthe conference.

11. Duplication among agencies inproviding off-farm occupational training programs needs to belimited, thereby resulting in increased savings and improvededucational effectiveness.

12. More precise and comprehensiveterminology is needed by people developing these programsso that they are universally under- stood.

13. School people present expressedthe viewpoint that "we expect industry to absorb our product,therrIore we must have a product that industry wants. Consequently, we must expect industry to explain what skills andabilities are needed for entryas well as advancement in occupations."

14. The programs being established. mill,not be of fullest value if the students enrolled in themdo not secure adequate vocational guidance. Consequently, vocational guidance counselorsand teachers working with individualstudents need to: (a) determine interests, (b) expandon knouledge about jobs available, (c) note the students'individual abilities, and (d) explore different occupations for whicha person wowdbe: best fitted.

15. While being concerned with workingwith busin,s.s and industry, it is imperative thatpersons plaliving such programs not over- look the possibility ofcorverating with other vocational end educational services. Me Department oflam:, employment security agencies, the AgriculturalExtension Service, four- year educational institutions, privately operatededucational institutions, and the general publicare all vitally concerned with off-farm occupational education.

16. The advisory meeting members*.endorsed,theformat for materials and general plan of operation beingfollowed in the r7P,oject. 17. The problem of low-entrywages in some agricultural occupations was identified as a deterrent toprogram development. The opinion was expressed that entryssagesshould improve as the qualifications of entry workersimprove.

Activities Prior to NationalConferences on Off -Farm Agricultural Occupations

At the conclusion of theApril advisory committee conference, eelected supervisors andteacher educators stayed to assiststaff members in planning the National Conference on Off-Farm AgriculturalOccupations. These men also assumed leadership roles in the Mayconference.

After the April meeting, prOjecttask force personnel standardized course titles by descriptionand by areas. It was decided to categorize job titles. By thebeginning of May complete summarizationdata had been received fromfifteen states.

Programs in operation inthe different states.were evaluated as task force personnelbegan preparingprogram development and curriculum materials. The time between the Aprilconference and the May national conference was devoted, topreparation of project materialsin all areas. By the time the national conference was held in May, preliminaryprogrem development materials concerning policies and administrativedecisions in off-farm programs as well as a tentativesummary of research findings had been completed. Instructional materials had beenprepared in tenta- tive form for approximately 40 percent of the modules inhorticulture, agricultural supply, andagricultural machinery.Content in the area of agricultural chemicalstechnology had been outlined.

The National. Conferenceon Off - 'a cultural. Occ atuns

Prom May 4 to 7, 1965, 153 individuals from 49 states notinclud- ing task force personnel, attended a national conferenceon off-farm agricultural occupationson the campus o1 The Ohio state taversity. A complete list of thepersons attending appearsasAppendix "Es" The conference was developed primarily for teacher educatorsand state supervisory personnel in agricultural. education. Representatives from agricultural. business andindustry, state colleges anduniversities, the N. 8, Office of Education,area vocational schools, coo-wanity colleges, state eployment services,and state departments ofpublic instruction also attended thisconference.

The primarypurposes of the confereaceyere:

1. To present to pesssOnnelfrom the respect!ve statesan outline for developing newprogrem in off -farm agricultural°coups- tiou.

2. To slim the noticgt-wil'ereed for such programs.

17 3. To present the preliminary materialspertaining to development of such programsas well as illustrative curricular materials already. developed byproject personnel.

1.To plan five ereameetings which would focuson the development of local pilotprograms.

In the evaluation of thisconference,the persons attending reflected aninterest in and a need for developingsuch programs in their respective states.They also sought specific helpin establishing such programs, especiallyin states which hadsmall state staffs. One common feeling expressed was that the held a year earlier. conference itself should have been

In analyzing the evaluationinstruments returned byconference participants, itwas interesting to note that somepersons had not been aware, untilthis conference, of the willingnessof business and industry to cooperate with educationin establishing neededprograms. It was the judgment of the task forcethat someconference participantswere ignor- ing study data andviewing needed developmentsin this area in light of modifying existing traditionalprograms rather than developing newor parallel programsfocusing primarily on off-farmagricultural occupations. That is to say,some apparently felt that "some instruction"could be injected into certainyears of the presentproduction-oriented program and do the job that neededto bedone. The task force, recognizing the impact ofthedata, the training requirementsfor present and emerging occupations, andcounsel from agricultural occupationsemployers, resolved to place increasing emphasisduring the remainder of theproject onthe development of programs devoted primarily, if not exclusively,to off- farm agricultural occupations.

In sumraarizing the coments ofthe participants, task forcepersonnel expressedconcern thatmaterials being developed forthis purpose would be "prostituted" bybeing"inserted in"existing programs inmany states. Developing occupational competencyin off-farmoccupationsre- quires a complete, coordinatedprogram of education which is tailored for occupational entry. This type of program cannot bedeveloped by add- ing a module or two to an existing traditionalprogram. To help foster this idea of developinga complete program in any givenarea, taskforce personnel decided that thecurriculum materialsnow growing out of the work of the project would be sold to the states onlyas complete sets.

Conference participants discussedextensively the following leadership tasks of state staffpersonnel in developingprograms in off-farm agricultural occupations: (1) determiningadministrative responsibility; (2) changingexisting programs; (3) developingand evaluating departmental programs; 0)providing qualified personnel forsuch work;(5)providing occupational. experience; and(6)providing vocational educationin agriculture.to those not benefitingfrom the regular program.In addition, time was spent by statestaff personnel on the problemof the establishment of priorities withinstates in developing this typeof program. Activities Subseent to National Conferenceon Off- Farm Occupations The two weeks following thenational conference at OhioState Imre spent by task force personnelin the preparation ofproject Materials and in preparation for fivearea meetings on off-farm occupationsto be held across the country.The rationale among projectstaff personnel was that tires spent in activitieswhich helped the disseminationof materials and the resultingestablishment of local pilotpro, ms was time well spent.These meetings took placeIn New York City or May 17-19) 1965; Chicagoon May 24-26; n:1Washington on June 2-4; Denver, Colorado on June 9-111 1965;and. Atlanta, Georgiaon June 21-23, 1965.

Area metings

While the National Conferencein Ohio had for Lsed attentionon responsibilities and activitiesof state staff personnelin the respective states, the area meetingsfocused on the responsibilitiesand activities in which local schooladministrative officers, localboards, vocational coordinators, vocationalteachers, and lay personnelcould engage to determine the needs forinitiating suchprograms at the local level. The role of state staffsiii initiating pilotprograms was also included. A total of 332persons, ezclud.ing tack force personnel,attended area meetings.Thirty percent oi° thesepersons were local teachers, 50 percent of thoseattending mare the state staffpersonnel, who, by a'd large, would. be responsiblefor providing guidance forthese programs in their respective states.Representatives frcn agriculsuraiin- dustries, other vocationalservices, and educationalinstitutions in the different areas attended t;se meetings.The roster of those attending area meetings is attachedas Appendix "Fe"

The courses in this post high schoolprogram are planned and organized to provide the chemical, biological,business, mathematical; and aiziculimral theories combinedwith procedural and technicr.1 skillm involved in theirapplication to the broad field of agriculture.

A cceplete set of curricularmaterials in this area includea suggested two-year post highschool curriculum andcourse out- lines and eight instructionalmodules.These modules areas follows:

1.. The Use of Chemicalsas Fertilizers

2. The Use of Chemicalsas Insecticiecs- Plants

7. The Use of Chemicals.in theField of Farm Animal Health (Nutrition,Entomology, Pathology)

8. The Use of Chemicals asPlant Regulators

In the development of instructional materials andsupporting publications, a general procedure was followed to marlmize validity andaccept- ance. Drafts of materialswerepreparedbased on findings of the agricultural occupations studies,site visits to outstandingprograms, and the best available materials. These drafts were submitted tovocational education teachers experienced in the specific area, to subjectmatter specialists in universities and industry, and to prospectiveemployers. These technical reviews mere then refined and synthesized beforea final editorial review was giventhe publication.

Copies of all publicationswere mailed to head state supervisors and head teacher educators in agricultural educationthroughout the United State. Vocational agriculture teachers, vocationaleducators, subject matter specialists, agricultural businessmen, andothers who reviewed the materials for accuracy and appropriateness of contentalso received copies of thepublications.Twenty-five copies of each publication were mailed to the Office of Education tofulfill 'contract obligations.

23 Evaluating the Project

Several techniques were utilized to evaluate the worth of the overall project.

1. Participants in the May, 1965, national conference were asked to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the project in detail.

2. Evaluation sheets were included with each set of materials distributed to persons in the respective states; these sheets were to be returned by the user aftercompletion of each module taught or after using each publication.

3. Plans are underway for monitoring and evaluating pilot programs in operation which are using the materials developed as an outgrowth of this project.

4. During the week of June 27- 30,1966, The Center sponsored a National Seminar on Evaluation and Program Planning in Agri- culturta Education. A significant portion of the seminar was devoted to the evaluation of the off-farm agricultural occupations project materials. One of the major purposes of the seminar, supported by the Sears- roebuck Foundation, was to provide an olaportunity for state leaders in agricultural education and representatives of other vocational services to pool their resources and thinking in planning for effective measure- ment and evaluation of pilot programs in off -farm agricultural occupations.The authors of each of the several publications acted as chairmen of small group discussions during the seminar for the purpose of gaining firsthand information from teacher educators and supervisors concerning the value and utility of the materials.

5. An extensive review of materials was made by persons qualified in the respective areas of specialization. These reviewers provided much valuable assistance and guidance in the development Of materials resulting from this project.Those persons who served as reviewers of materials are listed as Appendix "A."

Strengths of the Project

1. States were provided assistance in completing and synthesizing their studies of agricultural occupations.

2. Persons from disciplines outside agriculture who could bring fresh, and, hopefully, unbiased viewpoints were involved to give direction to the programs to be undertaken. This involve- menttook placeat theadvisorycommittee meetings, during the National Conference onOff-ParmOccupations, and at the five area meetings. Persons wereinvolved, fromthe areas of sociology, rural sociology, agricultural economics, economics, manpower

24 economics, the National Academy ofSciences, community colleges, four-year colleges anduniversities, areavocational schools, technical institutes,and agricultural industries representing privateconcerns or trade associations,

3. Area meetings with primaryemphasis on the development of local and area pilotprograms permitted the active involvement of persons at the "action"level who would not have been able to benefitas quickly if they had been left to their own devices,especially as it permitted reduction of the time lag betweenawareness and decision making.

4. An awareness was created on the part of state staffpersonnel that cooperation and assistancecan be secured in establishing theseprograms from other educationalareas and from agricultural industryor businesses.

5. The national conferenceand the followingarea meetings provided a setting for theface-to-face interchange of ideas and discussions of mutualproblems in developingnew programs which would not have beenpossible in anothermanner.

6. One outcome of theproject was the ability to enticeperson- nel uniquely qualified.in their respective fields tojoin the task forceon a short-term basis toprepare specific materials.Also, the ability of the taskforce personnel to utilize extensivelythe experience ofpersons in agricultural businesses andindustries who wereaware of and were facing the problems in thepreparation of employees contrib- uted to the validity ofthe materials produced.The Whole- hearted cooperation providedby other vocational services permitted task force personnelto benefit from theirexper- ience and avoid previouserrors.Another strength of the project was the opportunityto project efforts atan acceler- ated rate ona national basis.

7. Interstate cooperationwas fostered in the development of instructional materials andsupporting activities.

8. Materials developedwere based on the recent research finLAigs and advice fromnational leaders in agricultural industry who were able toproject employment requirements.

Problems Associated withthe Project

1. The lateness in securingproject approval for fundingfrom the Office of Educationdelayed the entire projectschedule and made it difficult tohave materials ready for the 1965- 1966 schoolyear.

25 2. Limitations of time andresources made it impossible to identify and evaluate all on-goingprograms in off-farm agricultural occunationa.

3. Within this project it uould havebeen desirable to have resources to contract with states and localdistricts for the conducting of pilotprograms to carefully field test the instructional materials andsupporting publications.

4. If the entire project schedulecould have been advanced through earlier funding andaccelerated efforts, it woad halm been desirable to haveconducted some extensive workshops for state staff personnelwho, in turn, would have been responsible for conductingworkshops for teachers initiating programs in theirstates. This was accomplished to some degreeon an informal basis, but not to the degree desired.. Such workshops could also haveaddressed themselves to the operational levelproblems of involving othervoca- tional. services in suchprograms.

5. States were not ableto maintain theirschedules for completing research projects; hence,it was impossible to utilize all state research datain the synthesis.

6. Despite the efforts exertedthrough the two researchcoordination conferences, individualstate project designs varied., therefore, contributing to theproblem of developingcompara- tive data.

SUMMARY

The major objectives of thisproject were accomplished through the series of specialized.publications listedon Pages 19 to 23 of this doctiment. This publication constitutesa report of the project and the procedures used indeveloping these specializedpublications.

The major ploopose of this projectwas to determine the adjustments and extensions net ted in the high school and post highschool curricular patterns of vocational educationin agriculture tomore effectively meet preparatory trainingneeds in off -fan agriculturaloccupations.The summarization, interpretation, andresulting synthesis of the studies on agricultural. occupations completed bytwenty-six states provided the basis for determining extensions and adjustments inthe curricular patterns.

Six specific objectiveswere established for the study. These were:

1. To identify the major occupationswhich reciu.ixe competency in agriculture.

2. To determine the agriculturalcompetencies needed by workers in these occupations.

26 3. To cluster the majoragricultural occupattons which require similar competencies.

4. To develop and refinethe curricular guides andsupporting materials whichwere most needed end feasible for themajor clusters of agriculturaloccupations.

5.To examine the data from thestudies on agricultural occupations for otherimplications, giving particular attentionto: a. Programs fordisadvantaged youth.

b. Projected employmentopportunities in major agricultural occupations.

c. Needed adjustments inadministrctiw and rapervisory procedures.

d. Organizational structure forproviding vocational education in agriculture.

e. Needed adjustments in teachingand coordinating methods.

f. Pre - service and in-serviceeducation of teachers.

g. Selection, placement, andfollow-up of students.

6. To train keystate leaders in theuse of the curricular gaides andsupporting materials.

A task force of educational leaders was assembled at TheCenter early in 1965 to work towardthe accomplishment of theobjectives. Advisory Committee meetingswere held with representatives of tural agricul- businessand industry, teacheredacetors, and state department personnel to gather suggestionsconcerning thedevelopment ofmaterials for programsin off-farmagricultural occupations. ofthe The general format curricular materialswas endorsed by this advisorygroup. off-farm Various agriculturalprogramsin operationin thestates were evaluated bythe task force personnel asthey beganpreparing curriculum materials.

In say, 1965,153 individuals fromforty-ninestates attended a national conference atThe Ohio StateUniversity todiscuss the various phases of ,the off-farm agricultural occupationsproject. The primary purposesof theconference were:

1.. To present to personnelfrom the respeetiVe.statesan outline for developingnworprograms in off -fameagri- cultural occupations; 2.To show the nation-wideneed for such propaits; 3. To present the preliminarymaterials pertaining to development of suchprograms as well as illustrative curricular materials developedby project personnel;

4. To plan five area meetingswhich would focuson the development of local pilotprograms.

Following the national conferenceat The Ohio State University,the task force personnel prepared project waterials forfive area meetings on off-farm occupations to be held.during May and June in NewYork City, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Pullman, Washington; Atlanta,Vreorgia; and Denver, Colorado. The primary purpose of thearea meetings was to focus attention on the responsibilities and activities oflocal administrative officers, school boards,teachers, and the general publicin initiating programs in the off-farm occupations. The meetings were attended bya total of 332 persons who also assisted in revisingthe project materials to make themmore effective for theirarea.

After the last area meeting, the task force personneldevoted their energies to completing the curricular and program developmentmaterials. One of the major objectives of the project was to developcurricular guides and supporting materials which were determinedto be most needed in the area of off-farm agricultural occupations.Therefore, the completion of a series of publications was given highpriority by the task force.

The following; publicationswere prepared during thesummer of 1965 to assist educators in developing programs in off -farmagricultural occupations:

1. Policy and Administrative Decisions Needed WhenIntroducing Vocational and TechnicalEducation in Agriculture forOff- Farm Occupations (forboards and administeators oflocal schools, area scaools, andcollegesi
