Section LXV-313 - Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAEP)

A. A very unique component of AgEd/FFA is the Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAEP). This component is in addition to the classroom, laboratory and site-based experiences described above. Each student enrolled in AgEd/FFA is required to plan and conduct a SAEP. SAEP is a coordinated set of supervised individual experiences in an agricultural career area. Examples of SAEPs include employment in a farm, ranch, or agribusiness setting; individual production of livestock or crops; volunteer work with community organizations using agricultural skills; or developing entrepreneurial opportunities.

B. The SAEP allows the student to apply the knowledge and individualized skills learned in school-sponsored classroom, laboratory and site-based activities in their own situation. These experiences allow students to explore career areas, to develop career skills further, to develop self-confidence and a sense of responsibility and pride, to hone their personal decision-making skills, and to receive recognition for their achievements.
