Fall Leadership Conference... Peeling Some Corn

It's that time of year where officer teams start to really grind there gears and put there skills to work! But not before they get a little boost from the PA State Officer Team and the PSU Ag Ed 18 cohort, who got some assistance from the PSU Ag Ed 17 cohort!

For an hour and 45 minutes, Karlie and I, along with our 2017 Shadow Teacher Amanda, ran the Secretaries workshop! We"husked" our way through our objectives, covering many of the responsibilities of the secretary. We covered opening ceremonies, writing minutes, and thank you cards just to name a few. 
After equipping our secretaries with the power of Scribes, we reconvened with different members to allow them to work with there fellow chapter members. The 3 of us ran a short workshop where we discussed how to handle team dynamics such as "Forming", "Storming", "Norming", and "Performing". Our teams are now prepared to "weather" there storms!

Overall, the day was a success. The officer teams are ready and abled to conquer any future tasks they are presented. I felt I personally flourished among the student's. I didn't feel nervous among the student's as I feel among my fellow peers in our mock labs.It helped affirm my belief in myself that I can be an Ag Teacher! And how excited I am to be!

  2. Katie, sounds like you are a confidence boosting day. Did you collect survey feedback at all? If so how can you apply it? How can you see what you did here relate to the classroom or the FFA?
