Thanks for a great "Jill Gordon Day" session this morning ;). Check out the ticket out answers below! I have sent to link to Stephanie as well, so hopefully any questions that are geared towards her will be answered! I will try my best to answer from what I know already :).
Other important information: There are currently 3 POA examples loaded onto Angel as well as my own assignment from last year. Seriously, let me know if you have any questions about the assignment! You can reach me on Angel mail, email (jag5750@psu.edu) or Twitter (@jillianpsu).
Also feel free to contact Mrs. Jolliff in regard to any resources. You can reach her at jolliff@ridgemont.k12.oh.us
What are we curious about?
- National FFA
- This is quite the broad question, check out their website (ffa.org) to see the different programs, activities and resources that are available (both as a collegiate student and an ag teacher) if you have a more specific question, comment below or tweet out and I will get back to you!
- How the built in grade works for tying FFA into the classroom
- Given that FFA in an INTRAcurricular activity (built INTO the classroom) and that Pennsylvania is an affiliate state (meaning all ag ed students are FFA members) many programs now give grades for FFA involvement. So if you are enrolled in an Ag course, a portion of your total grade will go to the activities you attend. Linked here is the sheet that Stephanie gives her students to keep track of involvement.
- What makes Jolliff's banquet different from others?
- Going to lobby this one to Stephanie! (I have a copy of last year's program if anyone is interested)
- How do I initially start creating a POA?
- Remember that this assignment is NOT about creating a POA! It's about figuring out how to start a program in your school. See the examples on Angel to get a better understanding. Personally, I think a good place to start is looking at committee structure!
What did we learn?
- Many components of implementing POA
- How to get more student involvement
- Ridgemont FFA Chapter
- What characteristics make an effective POA
- Jolliff is super woman
- How to get students involved in POA
What do we want to learn more about?
- A successful POA
- Check out Stephanie's website to get more info on the structure of theirs. Remember, it will only be successful if it is student centered and student driven!!!!!
- How to phase out "sacred cows"
- I am going to let Stephanie give her input on this as well :)
- How long did it take to get Ridgemont where it is today? What other growth would you like to see?
- Getting a high school as a whole more involved with an Ag program?
