If someone asked me before the pandemic what I think is the best way to get disengaged students to engage in school, I would respond with, “Make learning more authentic. Make school about more than just grades or making their teacher or parent happy. Give students real problems to solve that serve as intrinsic and extrinsic motivators.”
My article this week is spotlighting our FFA. According to the National FFA Organization website, ““Future Farmers of America” was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it’s a science, it’s a business and it’s an art.” Being involved in FFA opens the door for students to compete in leadership and career development events, volunteer with the FFA in our community, and advocate for the field of agriculture when opportunities arise. Sarah Green, CHS FFA sponsor, keeps our FFA members active in a variety of events each year. The Corning FFA will be involved in Leadership Development Events where students compete against other schools in Creed Speaking, Parliamentary Procedure, Prepared and Extemporaneous Speaking, and Conduct of Chapter Meetings. Students will also compete in Career Development Events where students use knowledge and skills learned inside the classroom and/or mechanics lab to compete against other FFA Chapters. Some examples of these CDE’s are veterinary science, milk quality and products, poultry science, meats judging, livestock judging, horse judging, mechanics, electricity, agronomy, floriculture, and forestry.
