One Million New Scientists. One Million New Ideas.™

Only 18 percent of US high school seniors are proficient in science (NAEP 2005). 5% of current US college graduates earn science, engineering, or technology degrees compared to 66% in Japan and 59% in China.

America faces a crisis in its ability to keep up with increasing demand for professionals trained in these fields.

4-H is committed to the physical, mental and emotional health of our nation's youth so they may lead healthy and productive lives into adulthood.

By 2014, 4-H will expand participation to 2.75M youth involved in healthy living opportunities.

Healthy Living includes eating habits, physical fitness, capacity to recognize and direct emotions, and development of positive social interactions and relationships.http://4-h.org/programs_mission_mandates/healthyliving.html

43

4-H places an emphasis on the importance of young people being engaged, well-informed citizens.

By connecting to their communities and leaders, youth understand their role in civic affairs and are able to expand their role in decision-making processes.

Civic engagement provides the foundation that helps youth understand the big picture of life and learn the skill sets that will allow them to become wise leaders for the 21st century.

Discuss core beliefs of recognition.

Important part of 4-H experience for youth and adults.

Can take on many forms.Based on a number of beliefs…

Recognition is a basic human need.Recognition should be designed to build

self-esteem.Balance intrinsic and extrinsic recognition. All members need recognition of their

efforts.Recognition is more meaningful if given

soon after it is earned.

Appropriate recognition depends on… Stage of development Past experiences Family lifestyle Community and cultural heritage

Provide opportunities for self-assessment and reflection

Members should be able to exercise individual choices in learning and participation and be recognized accordingly.

Describe the National 4-H Recognition Model.

Acknowledges positive learning behaviors in young people.

Based on youth’s involvement, participation, and/or efforts.

Identifies recognition for individuals and groups.

Designed to meet needs, interests, and aspirations of youth from different backgrounds.
