AGED 301 — Advising Youth Organization & Supervising Work Experiences
This course introduces students to the role and structure of the agricultural student organization (such as FFA and 4-H) as an integral component in developing the student through individual, cooperative and collaborative activities that prepare the student for a role in the school, community, and workplace. This course introduces students to the Three Circle Model (FFA, SAE, classroom instruction). Techniques for coordinating and advising an FFA chapter in conjunction with developing and conducting Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) are thoroughly explained. The foundations of work-based learning, including the development of workplace skills, career exploration strategies, as well as state and federal labor laws are also discussed.
