INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ADOPTION: 21st Century Learning EVALUATION CRITERIA
The general evaluation criteria apply to each grade level and are to be evaluated for each grade level unless otherwise specified. These criteria consist of
information critical to the development of all grade levels. In reading the general evaluation criteria and subsequent specific grade level criteria, e.g. means
“examples of” and i.e. means that “each of” those items must be addressed. Eighty percent of the combined general and specific criteria must be met
with I (In-depth) or A (Adequate) in order to be recommended.

Animal Processing - Plant
Grade 11-12
This course is designed to provide students with knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to enter meat
processing plant occupations. Students will be able to exhibit skills in the areas of safety, sanitation, slaughtering,
processing, and grading. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Teachers should provide each student with
real world learning opportunities and instruction related to selection, development, and maintenance of individual
Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs. Students are encouraged to become active members of FFA,
the national youth organization for those enrolled in agricultural education. FFA is an integral component of the
program and provides curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement. Teachers should utilize relevant
FFA activities to support experiential learning.
The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content
Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for
classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
Standard 1: Nature of the Animal Processing Industry
Students will:
 demonstrate an understanding of the scope of the animal processing industry.
 demonstrate the ability to use the inquiry process to solve problems.
Standard 2: Content of Studies in Animal Processing
Students will:
 demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and applications of facts, concepts, principles, theories, and models as delineated
in the objectives.
 relate the principles contained in the sciences, economics, mathematics, and language arts to animal processing.
Standard 3: Application of Knowledge and Skills Acquired Through Studies of Animal Processing
Students will
 apply the principles of the sciences, economics, mathematics, and language arts to animal processing.
 analyze information and situations to select the best means of performing tasks associated with the animal processing
industry.
 demonstrate an ability to utilize technology to perform tasks associated with studies in animal processing.
 evaluate animal processing products and processes and defend decisions related to such.
 engage in work-based learning through Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs..
Standard 4: Participation in the student organization
Students will participate in a local student organization.
