[Minutes]

At the first meeting of the W-1006 the researchers developed plans to: 1. Continue developing an AITC baseline of knowledge and data. Utah State University is the lead institution in this area. 2. Identify those specific components and practices (including pedagogical strategies and curriculum materials) which correlate with AITC measurable program success. Oregon State University is the lead institution in this area. 3. Determine the significant impacts (including agricultural literacy and academic achievement) of AITC measurable program success. University of Arizona is the lead institution in this area.

Impacts

Academic achievement as measured by high stakes tests improved when taught by teachers who experienced Agriculture in the Classroom training.
