The initial focus was the development of curriculum materials or resource guides for Georgia teachers. As the success of the materials grew, the task force was dissolved and the Georgia Agriculture in the Classroom Council, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, was formed in 1996. The members of the AITC Council include representatives from the Georgia Farm Bureau, Georgia Department of Education and Agriculture Education, Georgia Council on Economic Education, Georgia Agribusiness Council, Rock Eagle 4-H Environmental Education, Georgia Department of Agriculture, The University of Georgia and educators, production agriculturists, and agribusiness people from around the state. The development of curriculum for grades K-4 in 1985-86 was funded with a $50,000 appropriation from the 1985 Georgia General Assembly. "Agriculture in Georgia Classrooms, a K-4 Resource Guide" was the result of the appropriation. Georgia teachers developed the K-4 curriculum through teacher institutes. The materials were pilot tested by Georgia master teachers. Implementation of the curriculum was accomplished through teacher training workshops.

Practitioner Research As Staff Development Practitioner research is for new and experienced educators who want the georgia Adult Literacy staff development Practitioner Inquiry Project http://www.aelweb.vcu.edu/publications/research/introduction.htm
Extractions: Overview of practitioner research as staff development Practitioner research as staff development provides participants with the structure and the encouragement to systematically conduct inquiry about their teaching and learning, to reflect on the findings, and to make changes in their practice or program. It is essential to good professional practice to question what is happening in classrooms and programs, to try out new strategies and innovations, and to make informed decisions for taking action in the future. Based on the same premises as other forms of participatory learning and staff development, practitioner research focuses on concerns that participants raise about their own practice. They identify the problem or issue to study and what questions to investigate in their own classroom or program. They decide how to conduct their research and what the appropriate purpose or outcomes might be, given the constraints or demands of their working contexts.
