Methods of Teaching Agriculture is the genius of its original authors, L. H. Newcomb, J. Robert Warmbrod, and J. David McCracken. This textbook is dedicated to them.

For decades, the profession has embraced Methods of Teaching Agriculture as a seminal authority on developing master teachers. As Dr. Newcomb shared in an interview in 2021, “our goal was not just to have a text that was a good fit for the OSU methods course, but to provide a resource to have a positive influence on the caliber of methods instruction nationally.”

This book has served that purpose for thousands of preservice teachers across the country. It is important, therefore, that Methods of Teaching Agriculture continues to support the preparation of master teachers for decades to come.
