Field Experience Requirement

For this course you will be required to complete at least 30 hours interacting with students in a public school agricultural education program. Those taking the class in the spring have the option of completing up to 20 of these hours during January.

1. Email Dr. Buttles with the name of the school and teacher where you want to go.
2. Dr. Buttles replies with a Yes/No. If No, go back to step 1.
3. Contact the teacher, explain the requirement, and ask if it will be OK to work with her/him.
4. The teacher sends a FAX or email to Dr. Buttles confirming that it is OK.
5. Schedule your first visit
