East Butler Teacher Completes CASE Program
Nebraska Ag Connection - 08/19/2019

Jenny Kocian recently completed a STEM-based CASE (Curriculum for AgriScience Education) training in Kearney during the Nebraska Career Education Conference. The CASE Agriculture Business two-day training provided curriculum to agricultural education teachers.

Through a scholarship provided by the Nebraska FFA Foundation and funded by the Nebraska Soybean Board, Kocian is supplementing this STEM-based curriculum by using soybeans as a model, focus and method for learning. This fall, Kocian will be implementing this curriculum in their classroom by utilizing soybeans in various segments of the Agriculture Business CASE curriculum.

Through this curriculum, Kocian will be teaching her students about the process, benefits and challenges related to the use of soybeans in agriculture.

"In a rural community surrounded by production agriculture, students will have a better understanding of how soybeans impact their everyday lives along with its necessity for animal agriculture too," Kocian said, through a released statement.

For more information about CASE and other Nebraska Agriculture Education, teachers who have developed soybean curriculum for their agriculture science programs are encouraged to contact Stacey Agnew, Nebraska FFA executive director, at 402-472-5846 or Stacey@neffafoundation.org.
