Students in Ag-Ed I were excited to present an animal science topic to their classmates. The presentations bring the classroom to life with hands-on learning. Front(L-R) Johnny Seyb and Aaden Anderson. The topic was management and care of Specialty Beef Animals. The cattle are part of Aaden Anderson's Supervised Agricultural Experience project. Seyb also raises feeder beef cattle. The Supervised Agricultural Experience projects are an extension of the Agricultural Education program at Central Lee Community Schools. Experiential and work-based learning in school based agricultural education allows local programs to extend beyond the classroom and into the community in order to develop an individual student’s industry and career-based competencies. The methodology for delivering such high quality experiential learning is the Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). The SAE is a required component of a total Agricultural Education program and intended for every student. Through their involvement in the SAE program students are able to consider multiple careers and occupations, learn expected workplace behavior, and develop specific skills within an industry, and are provided opportunities to apply academic and occupational skills in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment. Through these strategies, students learn how to apply what they are learning in the classroom as they prepare to transition into the world of college and career opportunities. Students looking on,(L-R) 2nd row-Alivia Wiegand,Connor Robohm, Jayden Vorwaldt, Hadleigh Rohdy, Eliza Wagner. 3rd row Mrs. Heather Anderson, Isabella Lestina-Richardson, Ashlyn Blaqe, Gabe Keppel, Bryer Stevens, and Logan Campbell. (back row) Konnar McFadden, Wyatt Abston, Luke Kruse, Brighton Stewart, and Jayden Hall.#CTEworksforCL
