Community-Based Program Planning
School improvement is a topic that frequently raises concern and anxiety among professional educators. Improvement is often associated with change and change is often associated with more work. Community-based program planning (CBPP) presents a process that makes positive change possible, without increasing the already taxing workload on educators. This is achieved through the participation of a diverse group of community stakeholders in a series of visioning, strategic planning and implementation exercises. CBPP is a proven tool that can ensure agricultural education will continue to effectively prepare students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources systems.

Community-Based Program Planning Materials

The Community-Based Program Planning Kit includes three components:

  • CBPP Guide
  • Get Connected Partner Handbook
  • A Guide to Local Program Success (with the new Program Planning Tab)
