- W565525911 abstract "A small community in rural Eastern New Mexico is very proud of their local agricultural education program. It was established in 1935, has trained hundreds of local farmers', and is continuing to train those farmers' children today. The current program is closely connected to the local dairy industry, and as such, has been competitive nationally in the Dairy Evaluation Career Development Event (CDE). The Ogallala Aquifer, and the water it provides to the community, has become a huge issue for both the town and the agriculturists. Students are exposed to this valuable resource through conservation curriculum, and a number of students have presented speeches, agri-science fair projects, and agricultural issues presentations to the local civic clubs on these issues.Two hundred miles west, on the dry side of the Sandia Mountain Range, lies another agricultural education program established in 2009. It serves students in an urban area of New Mexico and is housed in a large, 5 acre, 2,500-student high school. When the school was being designed, the citizens expressed a desire to have a program focused on sustainability, as resources are scarce in this area. The Rio Grande river runs near the school and has been a topic of hot environmental debate. Erosion is rampant as construction floods into the area. The agricultural education program is housed in an Environmental Academy and students are active in the wildlife, forestry, and public speaking CDEs. The agricultural education program has partnered with the National Forest Service where they hike the Sandia Mountains, discuss local ecology, and help deal with the new and increased risk of rampant wildfires. The community is not very familiar with the blue corduroy jackets, but they love what the students wearing them are doing.These two agricultural education programs, though placed in very different communities, are both successful in advancing the mission of agricultural education. Though it is very important to dedicate time and resources to developing urban agricultural education programs, so long as a program is connected to the local community, and the issues of concern therein, the size of the city really matter!Place-based education (Sobel, 2004) is the antidote to boring, unconnected, text-book learning that plagues classrooms across the nation. Sobel (2004) defines place-based learning as,the process of using the local community and environment as a starting point to teach concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and other subjects across the curriculum. Emphasizing hands-on, realworld learning experiences, this approach to education increases academic achievement, helps students develop stronger ties to their community, enhances students' appreciation for the natural world, and creates a heightened commitment to serving as active, contributing citizens. Community vitality and environmental quality are improved through the active engagement of local citizens, community organizations, and environmental resources in the life of the school. (Sobel, 2004)This definition, though not created by those in agricultural education, seems to fit the aims and purposes of the program very well. Most importantly, this approach not differentiate between urban and rural areas - it only requires education in the context of a community. Agricultural education is viable in all community settings if designed by this standard.Place-based education requires a paradigm shift of how agricultural educators view curriculum. First, the instruction must be seen as fundamental to the residents of communities from all social classes and backgrounds. Instructors should ask, does this topic and our work matter to citizens of this community? Second, the program should be based on the identification and investigation of problems by residents themselves. Student work should serve as action research that will directly solve community problems and/or questions. …" @default.
