Next session, we will be conducting a flex period with a quiz bowl followed by a break out session for review on AET and and assignment coaching. If you have questions about this let me know!
What are we curious about?
- Are there opportunities for us to actually witness recruitment in action?
- How can I implement an SAE program if teaching overseas?
- Different ideas for recruitment and retention
- As we discussed in class, this truly is case by case. But the most effective way is to talk to students personally about why they should be taking your class. Additionally, some ag educators choose to coach sports teams or becoming involved with the theatre arts program as a way to pull students from new areas.
- Other resources in Spanish (or other languages)
- These are harder to find, but I stumbled upon this blog from a chapter in Puerto Rico
What did we learn?
- The six steps of recruitment and retention
What do we want to learn more about?
- How to identify program needs
- This is all about getting to know the community your chapter is located in and pulling from there. As you continue onto AEE 413, we discuss this topic much more heavily.
- Methods to combat negative perceptions of ag classes and careers
- Again, this is something we discuss in AEE 413, but a big way to do this is through recruitment. When students and community members see that FFA members are more than just farm kids, that perception will change on it's own.
Thanks y'all! See you Thursday.
