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.

Yet another reason for expanding School-Based Agricultural Education...
Md. district expands
career and technical education
Prince George's County Public Schools in Maryland plans to add 10 career and technical education programs to the district's offerings this fall. Students already have access to a growing number of CTE programs, with the district launching 36 such programs during the past three years. "It forms a community for the students, which is an additional level of support for the students to be successful," Lateefah Durant, district academic officer, said, noting that students in the academy programs often have fewer absences and fewer disciplinary issues.

How are you treating those around you?
I really appreciate Dr.
Levin’s willingness as an expert/author of classroom management to volunteer to
support us! I found great meaning in really three reoccurring themes:
- 1) It is all about respect. Give it to Get It.
- 2) Worry about the factor that you have the most: Teacher Behavior
- 3) Motivation = expectation of success x value. How are celebrating student success and creating felt need for content?
