The plan is to complete 20 lessons each year for a total of 100 lessons in a 5-year plan.
GROUP LESSONS: Schedule 10 group lessons; have 1 or 2 lessons in 6-10 group classes.
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS: Assign 10 individual lessons for home study; these will not be scheduled as one of the 10 group lessons.
The plan is to complete 10 activities each year for a total 50 activities in a 5-year plan.
GROUP ACTIVITIES: Schedule 5 group activities. If listed, activities are suggested under Other Activities
section and can be selected from the 10 assigned individual lessons. A
group activity can be scheduled at same time for a group lesson class,
to reduce the number times to meet to for 10 lessons and 5 activities.
Group activities other than those suggested can be developed. In an
activity, the members get to do something and write about it by
following instructions of the suggested activity. One or two
educational tours are quite often scheduled as one or two group
activities of the 5 group activities, such as College of Veterinary
Medicine Open House in March, animal facilities/operations and
veterinary facilities.
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES: Assign 5 individual activities. Consider selection from Other Activities section
of the 10 scheduled group lessons. The members are to do these
activities on their own; either alone or with a member or two. This is
in contrast to a group activity which is for all of them to do
together. Individual activities other than those suggested can be
developed and assigned. At times, it could be appropriate for an
individual activity to be done during a group lesson or group activity.
Most times, an individual activity is done on their own time, unrelated
to a time for group meetings. In an activity, the members get to do
something and write about it by following instructions of the suggested
activity.
The plan is to complete questions at end of lessons.
STUDENT QUESTIONS: Assign the questions, when listed, under Short Answer
section of the 10 group lessons and the 10 individual lessons. Answers
are collected for grading after each scheduled group lesson class and
each assigned individual home study lesson.
The plan is to complete job-training.
VETERINARY JOB EMPLOYMENT/VOLUNTEER POSITIONS: Parents help the members get their volunteer or salaried positions for work or observation.
