What do you want from this class?

In the second class session of AEE 311, The Bellwork (or Do Now) was to identify three items. One of those items on the Salmon Cards was to identify what you want to learn after reading the professional expectations re: SAE & FFA.

Here is what you listed and where you can best get that information:

• Every opportunity available for AEE
• Well, there is a lot :), hopefully you are in AEE 100 as well, if not, keep your eye peeled for the Teach Ag! Tuesday Email Blasts
• Record books in FFA
• Assignment #5 specifically addresses this
• Spend time on http://theaet.com/
• Class session 23 on 11/12 and Class session 25 on 11/19 address
• Teaching Methods & Lesson Plans
• These topics are primarly in AEE 412 - Methods of Teaching Ag (Senior Fall)
• SAE (the In's and Outs!) At least half the class :). Check out http://saebuilder.com/ in the meantime
• FFA & FFA programs offered
• At least half the class :-). Check out https://www.ffa.org in the meantime
• Being an FFA Advisor
• Yay! We are doing this next week in Session 3 on 9/3 and Session 4 on 9/5
• The process up to student teaching. What do I need to be doing?
• This is covered in depth in AEE 100. If you are not in AEE 100, schedule a time with Dr. Ewing or Dr. Foster to discuss or visit: http://aese.psu.edu/students/teaching-certification
• Generating student interest in agriculture who have not had any experience with it.
• We will discuss as we talk about creating engaging programs through FFA & SAE, these tend to be big draws to students!!! Also will be discussed in AEE 412
• Organization skills for FFA programs
• Yay! Actually, we feel the assignments for AEE 311 really highlights this skills, especially assignments #2, #3, #4, and #7!
• Planning and implementing successful programs
• AEE 413 with Dr. Ewing in the Senior Fall. But, obviously some of the assignments in AEE 311 will directly address two of the three components of the total agricultural education program (SAE & FFA)
• Differences between different states FFA programs
• Luckily, we have awesome guest speakers from across the nation "skyping" in! Be sure to be ready with specific questions about the state they are from! Google Stalk them :)
• Standards of an Excellent Program
• Yay! We started talking about this today, but AEE 413 will also address
• Working with Administration to find program success
• We will talk about specific targeted language that will help. AEE 413 goes IN DEPTH with this as well (as well as AEE 313 experiences in the Senior Spring)

Thank you for being Awesome!
