Archive of Featured States Archive of Featured State Alabama California Connecticut Florida Georgia Illinois Iowa Louisiana Maine Maryland Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Jersey New Mexico North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming Archive of Featured State - Georgia The Georgia Agriculture in the Classroom Task Force was formed in 1983. 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. Curriculum/Teaching Resources 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.

Introduction to This Guide Overview of practitioner research as staff development Organization of this guide Implementing practitioner research as staff development Acknowledgements 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. Practitioners conduct informal research all the time. They think about why some instructional activities work better than others, how to reach certain students, or why some adults learn faster than others. Practitioner research as staff development formalizes the process. 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.
