SAE Case Studies in AET Advanced to Basic
Date: 7/27/2020 1:00 PM
This workshop will be a hands-on-application for students keeping records for the most advanced SAEs to the most basic, which is a Foundational SAE. Bring your laptop and be powered up! Details of the SAE Case studies will be provided and participants will follow along as we make the entries for a student beginning with beginning inventory of breeding animals and how that SAE moves forward with new offspring, common cash, and non-cash entries and use of the breeding livestock manager. This SAE will also be involved such as retaining offspring as new SAEs and strategies to manage the new SAE in the market manager. This SAE example will include a step-by-step handout and hopefully will help each participant see the process and how to help students manage this type of SAE. The final case study will be managing a Foundational SAE, and important step-by-step aspects of that SAE and entries into AET. A final aspect of this workshop will be how these records flow into FFA awards and grading processes to help teachers monitor students along the way.
