- This research of study project concentrates on job shadowing opportunities and the development of an industry instrument to identify concerns. Background for the Agriculture and Natural Resources Academy as well as the community will be noted. A description of the research will identify the topic of the investigation. Justification for the research of study project will specifically identify the current problems in regards to job shadowing along with the need to solve the current problems in regards to job shadowing. Moreover, the identification of potential opportunities for local industry sector business partners to engage with the Agriculture & Natural Resources Academy. Pertinent literature will be reviewed and interpreted to support the need to solve the current problems in regards to job shadowing for the Agriculture and Natural Resources Academy. Action research objectives are identified and explained. The methods of investigation are also to be identified and explained. The nature of the data collected, organized, and analyzed is defined. Results, interpretations, and conclusions are presented. Recommendations for the practice as well as future investigations are shared.

- Description:
- The purpose of this project was to establish an agriculture economics course at Westminster High School in the Huntington Beach Union High School District that will directly impact the agricultural department’s retention and membership levels. Additionally, this project sought to develop curriculum which includes a syllabus, unit plan, and course proposal for University of California/California State University economic requirements. This study utilized a case-study approach. The target population for the study included all students participating in a current agriculture course at Westminster High School from 2012 until 2013 (N = 270). Results indicated the majority of students would enlist in an agriculture economics course and enroll in agriculture courses throughout high school if this course were integrated. Findings also indicated the majority of students would have a more positive perception of enrolling in an agriculture course knowing they were able to graduate with a specialization in agriculture from Westminster High School. Over 90% of 9th grade students reported they would enlist in an agriculture economics course and take an agriculture course throughout high school. Research indicated that over 85% of 10th grade students, 90% of 11th grade students, and 100% of 12th grade students would have enrolled in an agriculture economics course. Also, high school seniors previously enrolled in an agriculture course were identified and asked the same sequence of questions, resulting in a 72% agreement that they would have enrolled in an agriculture economics course. The researcher recommends that the study be reviewed and collectively submitted to both the school site and district for finalization and curriculum implementation.

- Description:
- The purpose of this project was to develop curriculum-related record-keeping and project management curriculum for a secondary agricultural program, utilizing video-based curriculum at Gridley High School, Gridley, California. Extensive research was conducted prior to the project implementation to determine if students truly comprehend information better when presented as video-based instruction. The project was designed around videos for the Agriculture Experience Tracker, a new business management records system, where students would watch the video and then practice the skills they learned. Students completed assessments (pre- and post-) to determine whether this style of instruction works. Results show that students do understand material better when they have control over the learning.

- Description:
- The purpose of this project was to establish curriculum and a program outline for Perris High School agriculture students who participate in the Rutledge Farm Internship in order to assess knowledge and skills outlined in the programs goals and objectives and determine what was learned during the student’s work experience. While developing curriculum, goals were established, stakeholders were con-sulted, research was conducted, and collaboration created specific internship goals and a method to assess the effectiveness of the internship. It was established that students would create blogs to explain what they have learned throughout the internship. Students would also present to the school board about the internship. It was concluded that students who participated in the internship had a positive experience and learned about agriculture careers in the industry. Blog posts show that students plan on pursing agriculture careers in the future. In the future, it is recommended that interns will express what they have learned throughout the internship utilizing a similar structure.
