The past decade has resulted in many calls for educational reform in the United States. Parents, teachers, business leaders, and educational professionals have all called for new and innovative approaches to teaching English, mathematics, economics and science. Agricultural education in the United States is responding to this need by placing more emphasis on teaching scientific principles using agricultural and natural resources concepts.
