At Goodheart-Willcox, we take our mission seriously. Since 1921, G-W has been serving the career and
technical education (CTE) community. Our employee-owners are driven to deliver exceptional learning

Student-Focused Curated Content
Goodheart-Willcox believes that student-focused content should be built from standards and/or
accepted curriculum coverage. AFNR Career Cluster Content Standards, Precision Exams Standards,
and selected state standards were used as a foundation in this text. Agricultural Mechanics and
Technology Systems also uses a building-block approach with attention devoted to a logical teaching
progression that helps students build upon their learning. Agricultural examples and applications are
consistently used throughout the text. We call on industry experts and teachers from across the country
to review and comment on our content, presentation, and pedagogy. Finally, in our refi nement of
curated content, our editors are immersed in content checking, securing and sometimes creating fi gures
that convey key information, and revising language and pedagogy.
