AET

What is AET and why do we use it?     

The AET system is a comprehensive student-centered agricultural education management system used annually by over 600,000 students each school year! AET is designed to help students track their educational experiences (classroom, SAE, and FFA) and document them to help them learn life skills and improve their decision-making. The program is focused on AFNR or state academic standards, SAE experiences and educational resources.

A core value of AET is students learn to track their experiences, which develops their digital portfolio and allows them to leverage their data to complete state and national award applications.

• AET is a personal, educational experience management system that addresses the standard state curriculum code of each student with an SAE program. AET also aligns with the nationally recognized three-circle model of ag education (Classroom, SAE, and FFA).

• AET is a management system to help monitor students' records of SAE (WBL) experiences. AET includes a written SAE Plan/Agreement, tracking skills and time invested, and helps students reflect on their learning outcomes aligned to AFNR or state content standards.

• AET also provides online SAE assessments that teachers and or employers can use to help students improve their SAE program. AET also provides an employer/supervisor management system to help programs track employers or other professionals that assist their students.

• AET also offers online program management tools such as an online program calendar to track career development events, an FFA meeting manager to assist in those events, and a public-view website for parents and others to keep up with event plans.

• AET also aligns with all FFA awards and offers custom state award applications to recognize student success using the data they have entered as they track their experiences.
