Nebraska School Standards: Bringing 4-H to the Classroom - An Introduction to School Standards
Content standards establish specific expectations for the assessment of cumulative learning by the end of first grade, fourth grade, eighth grade and twelfth grade. The standards listed for each piece of Nebraska 4-H curriculum serve as a base guide and are not absolute - you may find that you add or subtract specific standards as you seek to meet the needs of your unique educational setting. In addition, as the curriculum is adapted standards for grade levels not listed may be met. Visit the Nebraska Department of Education website to access current standard lists in each content area.
As these are University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension publications, the Nebraska State Educational Standards have been aligned to the materials found in this curriculum. Alignment of the Nebraska Standards is in compliance with national educational standards. If you are using this curriculum in another state, please refer to your local education department to reference your own individual state standards and see how they relate to the standards listed here.

Wildlife Conservation I: The Worth of Wild Roots
Special school standards note to educators:
Welcome to Wildlife Conservation! We hope you find this curriculum to be a dynamic asset to your classroom. You may notice that in this particular series, the school standards are all listed together in the back of the book. In many Nebraska 4-H publications, we list a small set of specific standards in each lesson. The reason for this difference is actually really exciting! Each Wildlife manual is organized with background content at the front and activities or “fair exhibits” at the end. It is very important for youth to integrate all of the background content, plus their own research, into each activity. When youth complete the readings, do field or library research on their own, and then design an exhibit as a comprehensive learning experience or “lesson plan”, they are literally touching on almost every standard listed in the back of the book! How often do you have the potential to incorporate 75 different state and national standards into a learning experience??
