Exploring SAEs

What is SAE? SAE: Supervised Agricultural ExperienceSAEs are student designed, teacher approved, experiential programs that are constructed to be completed outside of the classroom in real-life settings.

All are designed to be “experiential, service and/or work-based learning through the implementation of a supervised agriculture experience program.”

They are a highly encouraged portion of any agricultural education system and are considered to be co-curricular to classroom education along with FFA. NextBack

A Brief History… 1917- Smith-Hughes Act is passed, leading to

structured professional agriculture programs in high schools.“Farm Projects” are required as an integral

component of all agriculture education programs. 1928- “Three Circle Model” completed with the

foundation of FFA 1963- Vocational Education Act of 1963

expands the ground upon which agriculture education is classified.Section 10 classifies any agriculturally related work

on or off of a farm as acceptable for external educational projects.

Back Next

History Continued 1989- The Strategic Plan for Agricultural

Education is passed and provides a “modernized” definition of agriculture based projects.No longer referred to as “Farm Projects”, but have

been renamed as “Supervised Experiences”.Mandates that experiences revolve around real-life

agricultural situations, regardless of specific content matter.

Students are expected to develop a positive work ethic and realistic occupational goals.

Purpose & Importance The purpose of SAEs is to improve individual

understanding of agriculture from the perspective of real life situations.
