There are updated content standards for the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Career Cluster®, recently released by the National Council for Agricultural Education. State and local educators can use these standards to guide the development of curriculum and assessments for AFNR-related CTE programs.
A multi-stage review and revision process from 2014 to 2015 was based on input from more than 270 secondary and postsecondary educators, business, industry and state leaders in CTE. The National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education/National Career Technical Education Foundation gave permission for the agriculture education community to use the Common Career and Technical Core (CCTC) Standards in support of this project. In addition, the standards have been reviewed to identify crosswalks to other national standards such as the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.
