LAC 28:LXV.307. Classroom/Laboratory/Site-Based Learning

A. AgEd/FFA is unique among educational programs in that its laboratory and site-based experiences are highly interrelated. For example, after classroom instruction on metal or wood construction techniques, materials, etc., students may perform metal or wood construction in a laboratory located at the school or they may perform the same task in a site-based experience. After classroom instruction on parliamentary law motions and procedures, students actually utilize these motions and procedures to conduct mock meetings using the classroom as a laboratory; then, students use parliamentary law to conduct the business of the school's FFA chapter. In both cases, depth of knowledge and skills is developed through a combination of classroom, laboratory, site-based experiences. B. The program must allow the teacher to facilitate learning while continuing to integrate science, mathematics, and communication skills into the total program. Instruction should be coordinated with all high school courses and taught as an integral part of the total instructional experience for the student, rather than as an isolated program.
