Lesson Plans
Teaching SAE lessons in the classroom is a critical step to ensure awareness and initial planning of SAE programs by all students. This is especially true as ag ed programs serve more students who aren’t on a traditional, multiple-year career tract in agricultural education.
The following eight lessons and corresponding PowerPoint presentations are developed to engage student interest and involvement in SAEs. These lessons are written with a broad definition of SAE in mind. Review and modify as needed to suit the philosophy of SAE in your program.
Also included are lessons from FFA’s LifeKnowledge® initiative and links to SAE lessons on the Internet at the time of the handbook’s release. The entire field of agricultural education is enriched when multiple, high-quality resources are available to its teachers.
