Keegan Humm SAE – Placement: Implement Dealership Lesson Plan
This is a 45-minute FFA lesson plan that helps students connect a personal area of interest in agriculture to placement supervised agricultural experience (SAE) programs and the employability skills employers seek. Through a video, small-group brainstorming, a word scramble of the top 10 employability skills, and a reflection activity, students identify SAE ideas and learn how those experiences develop job-ready skills. It includes student activity sheets and an answer key.
