2024 NAAE Convention

At the national level, several key organizations influence agricultural education in your state. As a state leader, where do you turn for guidance on important topics like National AFNR Standards, the Revised Career Clusters, work-based learning and Perkins funding? Join this interactive workshop designed specifically for state ag education leaders to gain valuable insights, clear direction, and engage in healthy discussions about shaping the future of ag education within the CTE framework.

This workshop will cover how to empower employers, supervisors, and those involved with SAEs to record student work evaluations easily. This process can also add validation for your SAEs as Work-Based Learning (WBL) experiences and build relationships with local businesses and stakeholders for your program. A key area of WBL accreditation is evaluations tied in with student hours and skills for WBL documentation, which can help. New e-signature plans in AET can also align with SAE/WBL Agreements, which continue to connect to quality WBL and keep students, parents, and employers on the same page.
