Development of the CASE Safety module was made possible by a supplementary National Science Foundation grant and has been led by CASE and AgCentric at Central Lakes College, along with Northland Community and Technical College, Ridgewater College, and other industry partners.
Course Description
CASE Safety is a module to help strengthen safety instruction for agricultural education classroom. Safety has three components: education, evaluation, and enforcement. The curriculum is designed as a supplemental tool to the education and evaluation of general shop and agriscience lab applications. Students inquire about general safety hazards and personal responsibilities through engaging strategies. Locally, a teacher should use additional instruction and assessments for equipment specific to shop equipment.
WHY TEACHERS LOVE CASE SAFETY
"This curriculum was well-planned and broad enough to cover several areas of the shop and lab. It also gave students the opportunity to think about what hazards they may come across in a lab setting and come up with their own rules for using the lab. I highly recommend Unit 1.1, Safety Starts with You, for students starting out in the lab and those who need review."
