Course description and purpose:
Enduring Understandings (EUs): [for
teacher use] [6-10 things that you want kids
to know and be able to do in life because
they’ve had this class]
EUs:
- are the targeted understandings, are
enduring (transferable, big ideas, core
principles at the heart of the discipline) and in
need of uncoverage
- have lasting value beyond the classroom
- are applicable to new situations within or
beyond the subject
- are stated clearly and specifically
- are framed as generalizations specific
enough to guide teaching and assessing and
overreaching enough to enable transfer
[Wiggins & McTighe]
1. Relate how the animal science
industry will continue to provide
resources for a growing world
population
2. Evaluate an animal for type
standards and maximize production
in the livestock industry.
3. Demonstrate how to properly
harvest a product from livestock
animals
4. Evaluate an animal by industry
standards for health and market
Essential Questions (EQs): [6-10 things that
you want to make sure kids can do on a final
project/assessment… students should be
able to answer these at the end of each unit]
EQs:
- are open-ended; there isn’t a single, final,
correct answer
- are thought-provoking and intellectually
engaging, often sparking discussion and
debate
- call for higher-order thinking – analysis,
inference, evaluation, and prediction
- point toward important, transferable ideas
within (and sometimes across) disciplines
- raise additional questions and encourage
further inquiry
- require support and justification, not just an
answer
- recur… beg to be revisited over time
- are written as a question

readiness.
5. Argue the livestock production
practices for animal welfare and
production.
6. Compare and contrast the livestock
production practices of all areas of
animal production.
7. Relate how technology is being used
in the field of animal science to
produce higher quality products with
less inputs.
