Session 7 - Philosophy

What are you curious about?

What all do I need to make my philosophy great and achievable?

• Time to think about what you believe about teaching and learning, and then the opportunity to implement.

Does Ag Ed have to be about FFA?

• Agricultural Education is not just about FFA. The FFA is an integral part of the agricultural education model in formal school settings. However, there are many examples of agricultural and environmental education that occur in non-formal settings that could guide your philosophy.

The philosophy paper and shoe box project.

• Check out the assignment handbook for the paper assignment, and if you have further questions about the shoe box, feel free to contact me (Dr. Ewing).

The involvement of all three circles in an overall ag course.

• Next Tuesday's class on the "Premier Delivery System" should begin to answer some of these questions.

Plan to Exit

• Read the assignment handbook, and feel free to drop me an email with any questions. Really you are just developing your plan for courses (and potential other experiences) to take to complete your major.
