What are we curious about?
- Does it look like AET will become a national standard?
- I hope Dr. Foster chimes in on this one! But given that many states are going to affiliate membership and in turn with affiliate memberships comes an AET subscription, yes.
- How do we assess teacher candidate competency in the area of SAE?
- First, through the SAE implementation assignment it is hoped that teacher candidates gain the background knowledge and critical ideas behind SAE and incorporate it in their implementation program. Additionally, AEE 295 and AEE 413, two courses that you will take in the fall of your senior year cover quite a bit of material relating to SAE, including engaging in an actual SAE visit with our cooperating centers. I've linked a few examples of blogs my cohort has written (including mine) below!
- Do teachers go through National Quality Program Standards evaluations everywhere?
- This varies by state. For example, here is a link to Pennsylvania's program evalutaion
- More on the NFA
- We'll get this on Thursday with Dr. Bagget! Come with prepared with questions!
- Online lesson plans like the ones on leadership and other areas?
- Check out LifeKnowledge!
- Past Ag Ed Magazines
- National FFA Convention
- Dr. Foster should be sending out an email here soon! If you have more pressing questions, contact your fellow classmates Janae Herr and Stacia Creed!
- What are other fun ways to provide information to students?
- You'll learn more about this in AEE 412, but for now here are some sweet links I use as a resource when lesson planning!
- When is Ag Career Days and are there AEE internships?
- Will FFA and all of the associated programs ever make sense? Having no ag ed or FFA background, I find it all very confusing.
- A wonderful and fellow 2015 cohort member Carly-Jean Schaefer has previously expressed the exact same sentiments to me when starting out in AEE. Now as we prepare to embark on our student teaching journey, Carly-Jean has grown leaps and bounds in her knowledge. She "drank the Kool-Aid" as I like to call her. Her email is cjs5582@psu.edu, feel free to reach out, I am sure she would be happy to help!
What did we learn?
- Why the 33 delegates were in Kansas City, Missouri for the first FFA convention
- More about ag ed
- National FFA website has lesson plans
- Resource to find standards that we should be meeting as ag teachers
- National Standards for Ag Programs
- How to implement a fun way to learn classroom material
- Quiz bowls are awesome!
What do we want to learn more about?
- When a program is audited by the state are they held to the NQPS?
- Pennsylvania actually has their own program approval standards. You can find them here
- Getting more diversity in the classroom?
- We will be learning a lot more about this in sesssion 11, but for now check out the diversity inclusion section of the National FFA Website
- How the FFA and NFA merged
- Save this question for Thursday! :)
- Who are other prominent figures in the ag ed community?
- Well... this could warrant another lengthy answer, but this is a good place to start!
- Are there quiz bowl FFA questions already made online?
- Well even if there were...having students look for the quiz bowl questions allows for additional learning for students and prepares them to answer the questions correctly.
- What AET looks like from the teacher side?
- All four TAs have teacher access, stop one of us in the beginning of class and we can let you take a peek!
- What would a typical day be like an ag teacher?
- The National Teach Ag Campaign has a great blog about this, check it out!
Peace out Girl Scouts, see ya Thursday!
