Decisions & Dollars instructional materials were designed to upgrade instruction in financial decision making and record keeping for agricultural education.
The purpose of teaching/learning Decisions & Dollars in programs of agricultural education is to provide students a basis for making effective decisions, setting goals, assessing and solving problems, valuing financial progress and success, evaluating the management of resources and gaining skills useful in everyday life in the diverse field of agriculture. The curriculum is divided into four main sections:
Beginning, intermediate and advanced examples and concepts provide instructors flexibility to adjust lessons to their students' ability levels. Four diverse agricultural areas are consistent throughout the curriculum: horticulture, natural resources, production, and work experience.
