SAE

Supervised agricultural experience (SAE) programs are teacher-supervised, individualized, hands-on, student-developed activities that give students real-world work-based experiential learning experience directly applicable to careers in the broad field of agriculture. 

An SAE may involve student ownership of an agriculture-related enterprise, a placement or internship in an agriculture-related job, research, a school-based enterprise, or service learning. SAEs will be unique and vital components of your agricultural education program, and your role in guiding and supporting students is an important one.
