Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The alternative assessment examples identified above match the instructional needs of AgEd/FFA programs and will continue to be used. However, a comprehensive, valid assessment of AgEd/FFA must include an assessment of all components of the program: classroom/laboratory/site-based instruction, supervised agriscience experience program, and FFA activities. This program cannot and should not be evaluated solely on written examinations or standardized test scores. However, AgEd/FFA students have consistently scored higher on all five portions of the Louisiana Assessment of Education Process (LEAP) tests than the general student population.6 Alternative methods such as portfolios, exhibitions, and skill performances, and career development events must be used. The Annual Report/Plan Louisiana Agriscience/Agribusiness/FFA is one tool that should be used in assessing AgEd/FFA programs.
