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!
