How entrepreneurship, projects can combine for meaningful lessons - SAE ROCKS!

Great idea that can easily be applied to school-based agricultural education.

How entrepreneurship, projects can combine for meaningful lessons
The success of project-based learning depends on whether students find the work meaningful, high-school teacher Raleigh Werberger writes in this blog post. Werberger describes a lesson plan that combined project-based learning strategies and entrepreneurship -- creating meaningful lessons with real-world potential and high stakes for students. Werberger writes that students were asked to create business models, presented to business leaders in a Shark Tank-like event, in which one project was funded.

Truly the total program model is the premier delivery system in Education:

• Dynamic Applied STEM Classroom/Laboratory Instruction
• Developing Youth Voice/Civic Engagement through student organization (FFA)
• Developing entrepreneurial spirit/financial literarcy through work-based learning (SAE)

Rock on!
