The National Council for Agricultural Education (NCAE) is beginning the process of revising the Agricultural, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) content standards, previously revised in 2015. This process will include revising the eight existing pathways and developing a new pathway focused on Agricultural Education/Communication. In addition to revising content standards, Career Ready Practices, AFNR Cluster Skills, and crosswalks will be updated. 

The first step in the revision process is to collect feedback and insights about the standards through surveys. Each pathway has one survey and there is a survey for the AFNR Cluster Skills and a survey for the Career Ready Practices. Clicking on the name of the AFNR Pathway will take you to a survey where you can review and provide feedback on the existing course description, indicators, and sample measurements. You are welcome to submit up to one response per survey. The deadline to submit responses for the first round of surveys is Friday, June 9th, 2023.
