AHS.43 Identifying Others to Grow and Develop (PowerPoint)
This LifeKnowledge lesson (AHS.43) teaches advanced high school FFA students to identify the potential in others and help develop them. Students learn to check their own “vision” for limiting factors, use a student growth matrix based on enabled/empowered quadrants, and recommend appropriate development steps for each quadrant. The lesson uses card-game activities, case studies, and creative exercises to build skills in growing and developing fellow chapter members.
