SAE Student Success Story #13 - Pennsylvania

SAE is one of the most unique educational tools at our disposal as agriscience educators. SAEs have long standing impact on the lives of students. SAEs are not optional.

Story #13- Pennsylvania
A female freshman student takes on a SAE project dealing with beef cattle and the business end of ag production.  Attends Governor's School for Ag Sciences concentrating on Ag Business the summer of her junior year.  Completes her project during her senior year and applies to PSU.  She is accepted into the Ag Business major and graduates from PSU and becomes the Lebanon County Director of the Farm Services Agency. 

Submitting Teacher: Mr. Doug Brown

SAE Theorem #11 (Moore, 2003, The Agricultural Education Magazine)
FFA Proficiency Award Applications should be given to students at the start of their SAE. The FFA Proficiency awards program services as a powerful motivator for students. In order for this motivation al tool to work, students need to be aware of the proficiency award program when they first learn of SAEs. This can develop into a symbiotic relationship. When students see what type of information is called for in the award application, they will be driven to implement “approved practices” in the SAE program which will result in a higher quality SAE and higher quality proficiency award applications.


You are a developing positive agent of change who will one day help students explore and grow into their unlimited potential through agricultural education!
