It explains the scoring process: meet minimum standards, evaluate each indicator, select options in OR-series, and compute a total score that drives annual district allocations. The preview emphasizes accurately reporting all applicable indicators for statewide data and notes format updates and student-level revisions (middle vs. high school).",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/agricultural-education-incentive-funding-grant-fy2027-quality-indicators-preview/534365/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/agricultural-education-incentive-funding-grant-fy2027-quality-indicators-preview/534365.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Asher","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-10","2026-10-10",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",7,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the purpose of the FY2027 quality indicators preview document?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It informs agricultural educators, program administrators, and community stakeholders by previewing the quality indicators for the FY2027 Agricultural Education Incentive Funding Grant application.

This form could be used by educators to gather the information needed to complete the application before the release of the official electronically accessible application portal. While changes are not anticipated, this document does not prohibit the ISBE adjusting application components based on program needs. Please refer the directions below prior to viewing the remainder of the document. While application procedure will align with prior years, some small changes have been made to the quality indicatorsand this application preview is in a different format than prior versions. Questions can be addressed to FCAE or ISBE. |\n\n\n| Directions |\n| --- |\n| The purpose of this application is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the agricultural education program based on nine program goals outlined in the Agricultural Education Administrative Rules available at [https://www.isbe.net/Documents/75ark.pdf](https://www.isbe.net/Documents/75ark.pdf). These rules provide the basic framework for the administration of the agricultural education line item, and provisions for the Incentive Funding Grant are outlined in Sections 75.200 through 75.260. Each of the nine goals has an established minimum standard and subsequent set of quality indicators. If a program meets the minimum standard for an identified goal, they are eligible to receive credit for quality indicators within that particular goal. A total program score determines the annual allocation for each district. Proceed through each portion of the application by assessing the minimum standard, reviewing each quality indicator, and determining a total score for each goal. Make note of the following items as you proceed through the grant:\u003Cbr>1. The quality indicators within each goal are broken down into smaller sections (i.e. 1.1 Professional Memberships, 1.2 Length of Teacher Employment), and these sections each have maximum point values. The maximum points possible in each section is annotated in the heading of each section. See Figure 1 below.\u003Cbr>2. While this application is used for calculating Incentive Funding Grant allocations, it is also a crucial means of collecting\u003Cbr>statewide data on agricultural education programs. Therefore, it is essential that you indicate all quality indicators applicable to your school or program—regardless if additional points will be accrued. For example, if you have competed in more than seven career development events, please indicate all of them despite seven being the maximum number of points allowed in that section.\u003Cbr>3. Some quality indicators are listed in a series of options with an “OR” at the conclusion to indicate that only one of the indicators in that particular series should be selected. This will make sense as you review each indicator.\u003Cbr>4. In an effort to improve data quality and expand opportunities for funding middle school AFNR opportunities, some quality indicators have been revised to be specific to High School (9th-12th Grade) students or Middle School (5th-8th Grade) students. Those indicators have been emphasized in either red or blue font as seen above.\u003Cbr>5. Portions of the grant worksheet shown in------h are provided to checking or noting points scored in each quality indicator. This will help when determining the total score for each goal as well as the final program score at the end of the sheet.\u003Cbr>6. While this program was developed as a way to assess program quality, it can also serve as a helpful tool in incentivizing the improvement of program components. All programs should annually conduct a self-assessment against the goals of this program and make plans to improve ","cbCaip4YkcL8vlR7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip4YkcL8vlR7","pdf",557851,13,"English","# Directions\n## Application Purpose and Assessment Method\n## Quality Indicators Structure and Scoring Rules\n## Indicator Options (OR Series) and Student-Level Revisions\n# Agricultural Education Incentive Funding Grant\n## Goal 1: Qualified Agricultural Education Teacher\n## Minimum Standard 1\n## Quality Indicator 1.1 Professional Memberships and Affiliations\n## Quality Indicator 1.2 Length of Teacher Employment","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the FY2027 quality indicators preview document?\",\"answer\":\"It informs agricultural educators, program administrators, and community stakeholders by previewing the quality indicators for the FY2027 Agricultural Education Incentive Funding Grant application.
