Workgroup Information Animals in Educational Settings
Summary	The Animals in Education Settings Workgroup is comprised of campus, county, and community members whose work targets: 1) the development and evaluation of curriculum materials and methods necessary to ensure the effective and appropriate use of live animals in non-formal (e.g., 4-H) and formal (school-based) education settings; 2) the enhancement of volunteer leader and classroom teacher subject matter competence and teaching skills; and 3) the development of a wide range of life skills and increased science and agricultural literacy in youth. The activities initiated by this workgroup address UC ANR Core Issues, needs identified through state and local assessments, and national trends in science and agricultural literacy.
