Share Your Feedback for National 4-H Curriculum Summit
This June, National 4-H Headquarters, USDA, is convening a National 4-H Curriculum Summit to create an opportunity for representatives—from all parts of the 4-H Youth Development Program—to explore the goals and appropriate standards for 4-H materials and relevant agreements and practices to support them; the future curriculum priority-setting process; methods for ensuring quality and innovation; and professional development to strengthen our system capacity for quality curriculum development.
The goal of this national meeting is to provide momentum for 4-H faculty and staff to foster improvements as we transition our national curriculum processes including materials to attract and retain a population of youth more reflective of the diversity of our society; exploration of delivery methods and curricular strategies for the development of subject area competencies; and the incorporation of effective youth development models and principles to assist youth in the application of knowledge and the development of skills and knowledge important to succeed.
Since participation at the summit is limited, we want to gather feedback from others prior to the event. To that end, National 4-H Headquarters would like to gather your ideas, feedback and input. Please take a few moments and let them know what you think! Responses are needed no later than May 18, 2007. Click here to access the survey.
