This workshop explores strategies for integrating the Veterinary Science FFA CDE into classroom instruction to increase student engagement and contest readiness. Participants will receive ready-to-use resources including guided handouts, personality assessments and rubrics for veterinary practicums. Emphasis will be placed on connecting technical skill development and classroom content by adapting existing FFA activities to reinforce contest skills such as handling and clinical procedures. By the end of the session, advisors and teachers will leave with practical tools and ideas to immediately implement in their programs to strengthen both student knowledge and competitive performance.
