1.
Who did you visit?
I visited Jeffrey McCon on February 6th,
2017. Jeffrey is a senior who is involved in the FFA at McGuffey High School.
He is currently in an SAE class and a welding class this year. Jeffrey is an
active FFA member and officer who is also involved in school sports such as
wrestling and football, which gives him a lot of different opportunities
throughout the school.
2.
Where did the visit occur?
The SAE visit occurred at Jeffrey’s house,
which is about 15 minutes from the school. The visit was conducted in his barns
and in his house.
3.
What preparations did you make prior to the
visit?
To get prepared for this visit, I asked
Mrs. Cambruzzi for a student that would be good for me to make a visit with.
She recommended Jeffrey, and I then asked Jeffrey in class if he has time after
school for me to do a visit during the week. We planned for that Monday after
his wrestling practice.
4.
What was the student’s SAE program?
Jeffrey’s SAE is an entrepreneurship where
he maintains 15 sheep. He breeds them, and fits them and then shows and sells
them to market at the local fairs.
5.
How would you evaluate or rate the program? On
what criteria?
Through the entrepreneurship SAE grading
rubric provided by the AET website, I would say that Jeffrey is on track with
his SAE. At this point in time, I would give him an A. Jeffrey is expanding his
herd of sheep and he keeps up to date and accurate records.
6.
What recommendations were made for improvement?
One recommendation I would make for Jeffrey
include keeping his barn cleaner. As when I visited, he definitely had a rat
infestation, and he could use more sturdy pens for his lambs and ewes.
7.
What record books were being used?
The records books that Jeffrey used were on
AET.
8.
How does the cooperating teacher “grade” the SAE
program?
Evy,
ReplyDeleteDid you review the recordbooks prior to the visit?
What educational goals were evaluated during the visit?
Where does the student go from here with their growth and development? What goals for production or for FFA involvement were set in this visit?
