An outstanding Ag Science Program Operates Here 3 Components of a complete agricultural science program Classroom/Laboratory Instruction FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE)
Agricultural Education & Experiential Learning • Historically focused on learning from experience Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve • Supervised agricultural experience
So how do we connect the pieces? • Classroom • FFA • SAE
FFA & SAE= Experiential Learning • How is FFA experiential learning? • List specific activities • How is SAE experiential learning? • List specific activities
Back to the Activity • What helped you learn a skill or concept well? • Why were you unable to learn the new skill or concept?
Remember!!!!!! • It should all connect • Don’t count on your students making the connections without your help
