Adjusting for Prior Learning and Experience

Many students, particularly those coming from farm backgrounds, may have already acquired some of the basic knowledge and/or competencies in pork production prior to taking this program.  Teachers should assess individual students and evaluate their level of competency.  Teachers should apply the Adaptive Dimension (i.e., adapting course material, instruction or environment to support students in achieving objectives) to Core Modules and encourage students to select optional modules which will enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities in pork production.

Students should develop their own learning contracts according to their own needs.  Each module has a suggested range of instructional hours allowing for flexibility in designing individual learning plans.
