APB is a specialization course in the CASE program of study that provides students with experiences in industry-appropriate applications of biotechnology related to plant and animal agriculture. Students are expected to become proficient at biotechnological skills involving micropipetting, bacterial cultures and transformations, electrophoresis, and polymerase chain reaction.
Professional development events preparing teacher to implement full-year CASE courses. Institutes provide teachers the content and skills needed to use CASE curricula in their classroom. CASE Institutes range from five to eight days in a hybrid, in-person, or virtual format.
CASE provides a comprehensive professional development experience, in addition to a work-life balance so teachers can best educate their students. Course work is adaptable and customizable based on teacher preference to fit all geographies and communities.
Contributions from MetLife, Inc. and the United Soybean Board, as part of the National FFA Foundation's special project, made the development of the CASE Animal and Plant Biotechnology course possible.
