Maci Amaro – SAE – Goat Program
This National FFA lesson plan, built around the video “Maci Amaro – SAE – Goat Program,” uses Maci’s supervised agricultural experience (SAE) managing the Mighty Honker Goat Program to teach students about inclusion. Students watch the video, complete two worksheets identifying SAE skills and brainstorming ways to be more inclusive, then develop an event or activity to foster inclusion in their FFA chapter.
