CASE Professional Development
The strength of CASE is in the intense and thorough professional development provided to all those who choose to adopt the curriculum. To obtain the CASE curriculum, teachers are required to attend an 80-hour concurrent session CASE Institute. This professional development workshop equips teachers to use the curriculum to its fullest potential by preparing them to lead students through a series of meaningful, sequential activities, problems and projects couched in agriculture subject matter.

CASE Curriculum
CASE provides a complete curriculum in each of its three courses. This includes lessons that build on each previous lesson coupled with inquiry-based lesson delivery style, leading students to a higher understanding of big-picture science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts. At CASE Institutes, teachers become familiar not only with the curriculum itself, but with delivering lessons using inquiry-based instruction, student-directed learning, and activities, projects and problems (APP).
