SPRINGPORT AGRISCIENCE
PROGRAM
HISTORY
1917 – Smith-Hughes Act created Vocational
Agriculture
1928 – Future Farmers of America began
November 4, 1940 – Springport Vocational
Agriculture Program Began
1969 – Girls were allowed in FFA
1990 – Agriscience became a term in Michigan
1991 - Science Credit was granted for Agriscience
Programs in Michigan
1998 – Springport began to offer science credit for
agriscience courses
IS THIS SCIENCE OR VOCATIONAL?
BOTH:
There are 2 sets of standards from the State of
Michigan that programs have to meet
HSCE for Biology
CTE Standards
01.000 Agriculture, Agriculture Operations and Related
Sciences
CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Teacher Vocational Certification
Meet CTE Segments and Standards (which
includes having a student organization – FFA)
Create Program Completers
Have an Advisory Committee
Meet Facility Requirements
Have Work-based Learning (SAEs)
TRAC Audits (Technical Review Assistance and
Compliance)
State-Approved Programs are then eligible to receive
Federal Carl D. Perkins (Perkins Act) dollars and
matching State funds
01.000 AGRICULTURE, AGRICULTURE
