National Program Benchmark’s Online Learning
Dr. Travis Park provides an introduction of the new National Program Benchmarks (previously known as National Quality Program Standards) including the revision process, the tool’s intentions, and highlights.
The Council’s online National Program Benchmarks training provides an overview by focus group members that played a significant role in developing each section. The trainings are divided into the six distinct sections to allow users to easily view, as the National Program Benchmarks should be completed based on an agricultural education program’s needs and capacity.
