Course Description:

These units were developed to encourage Agricultural Education teachers to infuse aquaculture topics into their existing curriculum. Aquaculture is not a stand-alone course, and, therefore, bears no official course code. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
