Book Engagement Through Cooperative Extension

Book excerpt: The Smith-Lever Act of 1914, which created Cooperative Extension, provided a connection between the land-grant universities and communities. Rural communities benefited from access to education and research that improved their lives, businesses, and communities. Cooperative Extension has changed as society has changed, increasing content that is provided and access to new audiences. The original model for program delivery for Cooperative Extension is the expert model, which is characterized as a top-down approach, where communication and expertise originate from the university and Extension relays resources determined to meet local needs. Cooperative Extension has been encouraged to adopt a more engaged model of program delivery since as early as the 1960s. An engaged model of program delivery is characterized by shared expertise and learning as the community and Extension work together to identify problems and solutions to challenging, complex issues. The calls for greater engagement in Cooperative Extension are echoed in higher education as it is challenged to connect with local communities. This qualitative study explored the meaning of an engaged model in Cooperative Extension, including how and why Extension professionals apply the engaged model in their work. In addition, the study identified barriers that prevent and drivers that encourage the use of the engaged model in Extension, focusing particularly on two states. Findings from this study are intended to encourage greater adoption of the engaged model in Cooperative Extension. In addition, the study seeks to provide a mechanism through which Cooperative Extension can provide leadership in guiding higher education to greater engagement. The findings support use of both models in Cooperative Extension and in higher education, but suggest program development and implementation needs to be most closely aligned with the engaged model. Stronger relationships among professionals throughout higher education organizations, including those at local and campus locations will allow the higher education to build on the strong community connections maintained by Cooperative Extension. This will not only provide communities with increased access to resources that will help resolve the major challenges they are facing today but will also provide increased capacity in shaping their future. Engagement of higher education can successfully intertwine the three missions of the university: Extension, research and academic instruction.

Book The Cooperative Extension Service

Download or read book The Cooperative Extension Service written by Paul Warner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cooperative Extension Service, a publicly supported educational agency, is continually struggling to define its proper function and purpose in our changing society. Should its mission be broadly based or narrowly focused? Should staff members be generalists or specialists? Should its clients be primarily rural or urban, farm or nonfarm? What role should Extension play in the information networks of the twenty-first century? Professors Warner and Christenson take a broad look at these and other questions concerning where the Extension Service has been, how well it is doing, and where it ought to go. Theirs is, first, the only comprehensive national survey that looks at the total Extension organization rather than at just one program area. Second, it expresses the viewpoint of Extension clients and the public, rather than that of the organization's staff; and third, it combines outside survey information with data recorded in the Extension Management Information System (EMIS) and other routine agency reports. The authors evaluate, among other things, the extent of public awareness of the agency and its four major program areas (agriculture, home economics, 4-H, and community development), determine the users and nonusers of the programs and the accessibility of programs to the general population, identify the level of satisfaction with existing programs, and outline priorities and policy issues for the future.
