Editing JoAnn Martinec Breed Identification Slides Oklahoma State University Laboratory Activities Wards Natural Science Preface Veterinary Science is an instructional package designed for use as a full-year high school course. The goal of these materials is to prepare students for post-secondary education and/or a career in the field of veterinary medicine. The units contained in these materials are sequential with concepts and activities building on the previous units. However, each unit can be used as a separate piece and integrated into existing courses in animal science. Due to the level of content in math, science and technical areas, it is recommended that students have basic math and science skills and knowledge of small animal care prior to participating in this course. These materials were developed to meet a national need for quality veterinary science materials at the high school level. The curriculum has a strong base in science, math, and career education and documents National Learning Standards and New York State Learning Standards. The result is a comprehensive curriculum developed in cooperation with Cornell Educational Resources Program (CERP), The National Council for Agriculture Education, New York State Ag-Tech Prep, agriculture teachers in New York and Connecticut, and veterinarians and veterinary technicians at Cornell University, SUNY Alfred, Medaille College, SUNY Delhi, and private practice. The veterinary science curriculum strives to provide integration between academics and career skills. By participating in decision-making, problem solving, and career related activities, students leave the program with the employability and technical skills needed to succeed in the workplace and/or further education. The developmental process for these materials follows the CERP procedural model for curriculum development. This process includes review of existing materials and creation of new materials that are pedagogically appropriate and technically accurate. All instructional materials are pilot-tested in schools with students. All materials are created by a curriculum development specialist and reviewed by educators and technical experts.
