Local Credit OptionsAgriculture Courses are approved for science credit, at the local school’s discretion:

To support the varied opportunities for high school graduation requirements outlined in section 3313.603 of the Ohio Revised Code, the following provides ways in which school districts can offer science credit for courses in the

Agricultural and Environmental Systems career field and still conform to the Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) requirement.

Relevant, Real World Experiential Learning

in Agricultural Education

What is SAE?• Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE):

programs that allow students to apply knowledge and skills through experiential, service and work-based learning opportunities.

Evolution of SAE

• Morrill Act 1862 – Land Grant Universities• Hatch Act 1887 – Experiment Stations• Smith-Hughes Act 1917 – Vocational

Education• Section 10 reads, “that such schools shall

provide for directed or supervised practice in agriculture, either on a farm provided for by the school or other farm, for at least six months per year.”

SAE Types

1. Entrepreneurship: Ownership

2. Placement: Placed in a paid or unpaid work setting

3. Research: Conduct a major agricultural exper- iment using the scientific process

4: Exploratory: explore agriculture in one of a variety of ways.

Quality Program Standards

• Standard #8: Experiential Learning Experience Programs–Indicators: 5 Quality Indicators

What is Needed?1. Record Keeping System

1. Electronic = AET (Agriculture Experience Tracker)

2. Extended Programing

1. Agriculture Education Fifth Quarter Grant

The AET (Agriculture Experience Tracker)

• Premier personalized online system for tracking experiences.

• AET tracks educational and financial experiences for students and programs. 

• AET can also produce local reports for school administrators and overall economic impact reports for interested stakeholders and legislative representatives.

AET Applications

• Credential SAE Reports• FFA Degree and Proficiency Applications• Economic Impact Reports• Teacher Journal – Summary of Program Time• Program POA Documents and Operations• Program Financial Record System

~Operates on an annual scaled subscription fee

Extended Programing • House Bill 59

• Ag Education 5th Quarter: experiences in AES career field that are beyond the traditional school year – a time known as the 5th quarter – generally in the summer.

• PURPOSETo support quality agricultural education programs and the students who are served by addressing the need for year-round application of the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom and laboratory.

Purpose of Extended Programming

• Provides career-technical education teachers opportunities to increase student learning outside of the school day, week and year.

• Occurs after school hours, on weekends, during holidays, and during summer months.

• Does not include regular school contract hours or hours reasonably expected of teachers not receiving extended program time.

Acceptable Uses:

• Individualized instruction and supervision related to student’s career pathway;

• Group instruction and supervision;

• Teacher professional development activities beyond those required by the district related to the professional discipline;

Continued• Industry linkages designed to garner

program support and to develop work-based learning opportunities;

• Community linkages designed to garner program support.

• Engagement in student activities related to the program’s course of study and the local CTSO activities.
