Standard 2: Sequencing & Articulation

This Program of Study artifact demonstrates my readiness to implement a structured and flexible learning pathway for students in my future agricultural education program. It outlines a clear sequence of courses that build upon one another, integrating technical skills, academic content, and employability competencies. Each pathway begins with the foundational Introduction to AFNR course and progresses through intermediate, capstone, and extended learning opportunities. The design also incorporates multiple entry and exit points to accommodate diverse student needs, interests, and career goals. Students are empowered to navigate pathways that align with their aspirations, provided they complete the introductory course. Additionally, the program is designed to be adaptable, with pathways reviewed and adjusted annually based on student input and evolving needs. In practice, I plan to make this program of study accessible to both students and guidance counselors to support informed course selection and long-term planning.

This Program of Study artifact from my student teaching site highlights effective sequencing and articulation within a CTE framework. It demonstrates how students are provided with progressive learning opportunities, beginning with foundational knowledge in introductory courses and advancing toward more specialized and in-depth instruction in upper-level classes. The structure allows students to build upon their initial learning and develop targeted technical and academic skills. Additionally, the program offers significant flexibility through multiple entry and exit points, accommodating a wide range of student interests, needs, and postsecondary goals. Students are also able to take multiple courses simultaneously, allowing for personalized learning pathways and broader exposure to career-focused content.
