  1. Selecting, Planning, Supervising, and Evaluating Student SAE Improvement Projects Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum Office July, 2002

  2. What are Improvement Projects • Series of planned, supervised learning activities, related to classroom instruction in some way, and designed to produce educational value for the student

  3. Where Improvement Projects “Fit In” • Supplements and compliments rest of SAE program • Need not relate to primary SAE program of the student • Should relate to some aspect of the ag ed instructional program

  4. What Does Not “Fit In” • Not a major category of SAE. Should not stand alone • Routine parts of larger SAE program do not count Ex. Maintenance of greenhouse for student whose major SAE project is producing greenhouse tomatoes

  5. Purposes of Improvement Projects • Skill development (occupational and avocational) • Practical application of classroom instruction • Pursue interests with support & guidance of teacher • Application of theory • Economic and aesthetic return

  6. Selecting Improvement Projects • Related to career goals • Related to in-class instruction • Provide practical experience • Contribute to self, family, or community • Realistic and “do-able”

  7. Planning • Select tentative projects at beginning of year • Teacher uses student SAE plans in constructing teaching calendar • Student uses SAE plans when selecting class assignments when options are available

  8. Supervising Projects • Teacher supervision visits are important • Visits build community and parental support for program • Student gets personal attention

  9. Evaluating Projects • Summative • Were objectives accomplished? • Did student learn anything? • Credit for grade • Normative • Do we need to change the plan? • Self-evaluation by student

  10. Examples • Install a computerized recordkeeping system • Plan and install landscaping for home • Build a storage building for lawn equipment • Construct a nature trail for the elementary school • Organize a soil test program for neighborhood homeowners • Conduct a monthly “adopt-a-highway” cleanup program
