Ag Leadership 

Ag Leadership 

Grade Level: 9-12

Prerequisite: FFA Member 

Maximum Number of Students: 20

(.5 credit)

This course is for Royalton students interested in agriculture and FFA. This course will enable students to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to demonstrate positive leadership for agriculture. We will look at the skills necessary to be a leader, how to work as a team, manage people, and many career-related things as well. Topics will include team building exercises, personality profiles, career interest profiling, parliamentary procedure, and specific leadership qualities, with others to be developed from student interest. This class will be highly project-oriented and will include writing assignments, team and individual projects, and journals. All information will be presented in terms of how it affects you as a student, an individual, and a future (or current) leader in society. The textbook for this class is called Leadership: Personal Development and Career Success by Cliff Ricketts.  We will use it to some extent as a reference tool. You'll also participate in a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (AKA a hands-on, out of class Experience).
