This lesson explores factors to consider when expanding an SAE program, including costs, student interest, financial success, and labor supply. It also delves into methods to expand placement and ownership SAE programs. Student learning targets include identifying factors for expansion and explaining program diversification.
E N D
Bell Work • Responses on paper to these questions: • 1. Should you double your SAE program next year? • 2. How can you expand your current SAE program? • 3. How much will it cost to expand your SAE program?
Student Learning Targets. Instruction in this lesson should result in studentsachieving the following objectives: • 1 I can identify the factors that should be considered in expanding an SAE program. • 2 I can explain how placement and ownership SAE programs may be expanded.
OBJECTIVE 1: Identify the factors that should be considered in expanding an SAE program. • Anticipated Problem: What are the factors to consider in deciding whether to expand an SAE program? • I. Several factors should be considered before expanding an SAE program.
OBJECTIVE 1 continued • A. Student interest should be a primary concern before increasing the scope of an SAE. Both career and vocational interest should be considered. • B. The overall financial success of the previous year is an important consideration. • 1. Did the SAE project or activity make a profit? • 2. If no profit was realized, then strong consideration should be given to the benefits of expanding before making that decision.
OBJECTIVE 1 continued • C. How efficient was the enterprise? Consideration should be given to the efficiency of your project in comparison to state averages. • D. Will expansion provide the potential for increasing profit and efficiency?
OBJECTIVE 1 continued • E. Comparing the present scope with facility and financial limits is another important factor to consider. • 1. Will your facilities be adequate for your planned expansion? • 2. Financially, can you afford the expansion?
OBJECTIVE 1 continued • F. Is the labor supply adequate to meet the demands of the planned expansion? • G. What are the financial benefits to the SAE of the expansion?
OBJECTIVE 2: Explain how placement and ownership SAE programs may be expanded. • Anticipated Problem: How are SAE programs expanded and/or diversified? • II. Several methods can be used to expand SAE programs.
OBJECTIVE 2: Explain how placement and ownership SAE programs may be expanded. • A. Ownership SAE programs refer to the for-profit activities conducted by students as owners or managers.
OBJECTIVE 2 continued • B. Ownership SAE programs can be expanded: • 1. By increasing the scope (the size, sales volume, number of head, number of acres, etc.) of the SAE program • 2. By diversifying (adding or increasing new products and/or enterprises) • 3. By increasing the amount of capital investments (e.g., purchasing major equipment, land, building, etc.) • 4. By increasing the amount of self-labor contributed to the SAE program • 5. By increasing the variety of experiences obtained in the SAE program • 6. By adding to the knowledge gained through the SAE program • 7. By increasing the skills developed from the SAE program
OBJECTIVE 2 continued • C. Placement SAE programs are those in which students are placed with employers in production units, such as farms, ranches, and greenhouses, to produce commodities for wages.
OBJECTIVE 2 continued • D. Placement SAE programs can be expanded: • 1. By increasing the hours of experience in the SAE program • 2. By increasing the variety of experiences in the SAE program • 3. By increasing the total wages earned from the SAE program • 4. By adding to the knowledge learned from the SAE program • 5. By developing additional skills from experiences in the SAE program
REVIEW Quiz • 1. What are the factors to consider in deciding whether to expand an SAE program? • 2. How are SAE programs expanded and/or diversified?
