Because the pilot program was a success\, the program has now been moved state-wide. This approach by Indiana Pork has expanded the work-based learning opportunities throughout Indiana for high school students and re-invigorated the labor talent pipeline within the pork industry and has become a model for other industries to use. Go to https://www.indianapork.org/work-based-learning to view all the resources developed to date. This model serves as a model being used beyond agriculture in Indiana because of the resources created.

SUMMARY:Curiosity Before Compliance: Creating Inquiry-Driven Agricultural Education Classrooms Students Want to Be In
DESCRIPTION:Agricultural education is uniquely positioned to cultivate curiosity through hands-on learning\, real-world problem solving\, and authentic experiences. However\, many classrooms still struggle with student engagement when learning becomes focused solely on compliance and task completion. This interactive workshop explores how inquiry-based learning can transform agricultural education classrooms by placing student questions at the center of instruction. Participants will engage in inquiry activities modeled after real agricultural scenarios from welding\, horticulture\, animal science\, and agriscience classrooms. Attendees will leave with practical strategies\, lesson structures\, and resources they can implement immediately to increase engagement and ownership in student learning. Whether teaching middle school agriculture\, animal science\, horticulture\, agricultural mechanics\, or agriscience\, participants will discover how curiosity can become the driving force behind meaningful learning experiences.
