National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes

The National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes (Spielmaker & Leising, 2014) identify what an agriculturally literate person should know and be able to communicate about agriculture at the end of a grade level band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). The National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes (NALOs), include five themes. The NALOs have been correlated with grade level national education standards. The standards are linked to instructional resources found on the National Agricultural Literacy Curriculum Matrix website and the NALO K-12 assessments can be found on this site.
