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 sheep production prior to taking this course.  Teachers should assess individual students and evaluate their level of competency.  Teachers should apply the Adaptive Dimension to all modules (by adjusting their instruction, materials, and environment to support student achievement of objectives) and encourage students to select optional modules that will enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities in sheep production.

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