RT @AgEduChat: Q1: What are some activities your chapter does/did during National FFA Week? #FFAWeek11 #ageduchat

Just checking things out for the first time, will try to make some contributions #ageduchat

sorry, forgot Q1! #ageduchat

Q1: When I was in school we always did a teacher appreciation breakfast, trip to Farm Show in Louisville, & a fun chapter meeting #ageduchat

@CallieWells Glad you could make Callie. #ageduchat

A kind reminder to make sure you include the Q # in your response to help everyone follow along :) #ageduchat

Q1: We didn't do a lot in my chapter, but I do remember organizing an FFA Jeopardy game that everyone enjoyed. #ageduchat

Q1 We have our themed dress-up days, recruitment activities for the HS and middle school and GH banquet on Thursday. #ageduchat

Q1@mcoley #ageduchat We also did a teacher appreciation breakfast, I think it is a great outreach activity

@mcoley Q1 That's a lot! I always think teacher appreciation activities are a great idea. #ageduchat

#ageduchat I would like FFA to come to our school Q1

#1 We also did a teacher appreciation breakfast... and of course spirit days #ageduchat

Q1 For my home chapter, we always had a great turnout for our community appreciation breakfast. #ageduchat

Q1: As a teacher- 8th grade recruitment activities, teacher breakfast, chpt meeting, & visited w/ TN State Officers Goodwill Tour #ageduchat

Q1 I asked roomie (nat officer last yr) if she saw cool activities on visits, her response='Um, I was kinda the cool thing' lol #ageduchat

Q1 Does anyone do any #Ag Olympic activities in class or lunch? #ageduchat #ffaweek11

RT @drewbender: Q1 For my home chapter, we always had a great turnout for our community appreciation breakfast. #ageduchat

@CallieWells Q1 Yes. Easy & appreciated way to say thanks to all the teachers that work with our kids year round. #ageduchat

Q1 @padgets We would love for FFA to come to your school too! #ageduchat

@sollmana Q1 haha. My kids always like the State officer visits too. #ageduchat

#1 @drewbender yes... during the lunch hours we played games with students waiting to go to homeroom #ffaweek11 #ageduchat

@drewbender Q1: We did that last year as a chapter meeting in the evening. Pretty restricted during the school day #Ag #ageduchat #ffaweek11

@afreder #ageduchat I am at ottumwa HS in Ottumwa Iowa we do not have any ag programs

@sollmana #ageduchat Q1 If you could come, I would love to have you :0)

@mcoley My principal has really restricted anything, but I am picking better activities this year. #Ag #ageduchat #ffaweek11

#Q haha... @sollmana too funny, National Officers are always a big hit!! especially with administrators in my area #ageduchat

FABULOUS IDEA! RT @sollmana: Q1 I think it would be neat to do a community service project during #FFAWeek11 if I were a teacher. #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen #ageduchat What could I do in my science classes to promote FFA so maybe we could have a chapter?

I apologize for my twitter #fail tonight... working on 2 other project and a paper at the same time :( #ageduchat

Q1: Before my time in FFA they used to have a drive your tractor to school day, but that no longer fits the program #ageduchat

My home chapter has "Put a Cap on Cancer" day. Students in the school donate $1 to Relay for Life & get to wear a hat all day #ageduchat

@padgets The key is getting an agriculture class going at the same time. #FFA is part of #agedu courses so you'll need that 1st. #ageduchat

Q1 @padgets FFA has to be tied to an ag, food and/or natural resources program. Have you checked on how to get accredited in IA? #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen I am working on homework too. We do what he have to do. #ageduchat

@padgets there are a lot of things... maybe start small by introducing the Agriscience award, you must have an FFA to apply #ageduchat

@mcoley #ageduchat gottcha! bummer...going to be hard to do that one :(

RT @sollmana: Q1 I think it would be neat to do a community service project during #FFAWeek11 if I were a teacher. #ageduchat

@padgets Q1 Just tie in the #ag to certain experiments and projects. Will have to get community active. #ageduchat

RT @sollmana: Q1 I think it would be neat to do a community service project during #FFAWeek11 if I were a teacher. #ageduchat

RT @celestelaurent: My home chapter has "Put a Cap on Cancer" day. Students donate $1 to Relay for Life & get to wear hat all day #ageduchat

@padgets, @mcoley is right #ageduchat

RT @sollmana: Q1 I think it would be neat to do a community service project during #FFAWeek11 if I were a teacher. #ageduchat

@padgets if there are other kids at your school interested, get together and ask the principal of your school. #ageduchat

Ha, @lelanatty so true!! #ageduchat

#ageduchat you would think with Cargill in our back yard we would be all over it :0)

@padgets Are there any Career & Tech classes at your school? Perhaps a science based ag class could work for your area. #ageduchat

Couple more minutes on Q1....keep the ideas coming while I go grab Q2! #ageduchat

#ageduchat yes we have career tech maybe I could get some help from them...ummmm

@padgets #agedu is part of CTE so they should be able to help. #ageduchat

#1 does anyone have an assembly at their school? I would be interested in that! #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: Q2 What message will you try to send during #FFAWeek11? (recruitment, awareness, thank you to supporters, etc.) #ageduchat

Q2 awareness/thank you #ageduchat

RT @drewbender: Q1 Our community service event is Kiss-the-Pig, based on donations top 2 teachers who get most have to pucker up #ageduchat

Q2 Since I live in a fairly urban area, raising awareness is definitely a big thing. #ageduchat

Q2: We always used #FFAWeek11 for both recruitment & general awareness/PR of the program. Try to stop stereotypes. #ageduchat

RT @lelanatty: Q2 Since I live in a fairly urban area, raising awareness is definitely a big thing. #ageduchat

I taught in a school similar RT @lelanatty: Q2 Since I live in a fairly urban area, raising awareness is definitely a big thing. #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: Q2 What message will you try to send during #FFAWeek11? (recruitment, awareness, thank you to supporters, etc.) #ageduchat

Q2 I would agree with @CallieWells... I think recruitment is a product of awareness #ageduchat

RT @CallieWells: Q2: I think all are important, but awareness will help with some of the other areas. Incorporate multiple purposes in activities #ageduchat

Q2 Like I mentioned earlier, my school didn't do a lot w/FFA Week, so I'm always interested to see how it manifests elsewhere. #ageduchat

Q2: The key is that people (students, teachers, community) should be aware of #FFAWeek11 & have a positive perception of #FFA #ageduchat

Q2 so true @mcoley !! #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen #ageduchat It absolutely is! I would attribute being made aware of the FFA to my recruitment into the program!

Q2 current teacher is trying to get another program up at the other high school in the district, kids there don't know what it is #ageduchat

Q2: Also think that most of the time, awareness & recruitment are the same thing. Kids know a good thing when they see it. #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: RT @mcoley: Q2: The key is ppl (students, teachers, community) should be aware of #FFAWeek11 & have a positive perception of #FFA #ageduchat

Q2 Seems to be a consensus that recruitment, awareness & gratitude are all imp parts of #FFAWeek11. Q3 coming up shortly... #ageduchat

Q3 via @drewbender: How do you involve the school (HS, MS, Elems) in FFA Week Activities? #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: Q3 via @drewbender: How do you involve the school (HS, MS, Elems) in FFA Week Activities? #ageduchat #ffaweek11

RT @AgEduChat: Q3 via @drewbender: How do you involve the school (HS, MS, Elems) in FFA Week Activities? #ageduchat

Q3 My kids this year are planning to do a coloring contest with the 1st grade kids and recruitment activities with 8th graders. #ageduchat

Q3: We do an assembly for the HS. Ag Olympics. We also have a teacher luncheon friday as a thank you. #ageduchat

Q3: Interesting. Very difficult for us because I taught in an urban area so there was a lot of misunderstandings about AG & FFA. #ageduchat

RT @kathrynshallen: Q3 one thing we make a point to do is let admin know in advance (obvious I guess) & invite them to take part #ageduchat

Q3 It also helps to give the adms/teachers specific roles... let them know we need them... for @drewbender = kiss the pig!! #ageduchat

Hi there @amylu8643! Could you introduce yourself and a little FFA background? #ageduchat

@amylu8643 What do you all do for your assembly? #ageduchat

Q3: Those stereotypes made student body involvement difficult. But we did always make a recruiting visit to area middle schools. #ageduchat

RT @kathrynshallen: Q3 one thing we make a point to do is let the administration know in advance (obvious I guess), and invite them to take part #ageduchat

Q3 Even if we did FFA Week activities, would be hard b/c my ag program was at career tech center, so secluded in own CTE program. #ageduchat

#ageduchat Q3 As a farm girl, kids think my family was so nuts for some of the things we had to do on our farm

@drewbender this year we are doing an egg toss and giving facts about eggs, hay bale toss, scarecrow dress contest, pie eating #ageduchat

Twubs is sending, but not updating the stream. Uggghhhh.... #ageduchat

RT @drewbender: @amylu8643 What do you all do for your assembly? #ageduchat

@Sheridan_W Join us over at #ageduchat. We are discussing FFA Week activities. #agchat #FFAweek11

@sollmana Q3: Interesting. I've heard of those a lot, but we don't really have any in TN. Most of our programs were in HS. #ageduchat

@drewbender we are also doing a singing bee and I assigned my officers to find interesting Ag facts they never knew #ageduchat

@drewbender they also will be reading these facts during am annoucements #ageduchat

Fun! RT @amylu8643 @drewbender this yr we're doing egg toss & facts about eggs, haybale toss, scarecrow dress contest, pie eating #ageduchat

@amylu8643 That sounds like a lot of fun. My principal doesn't like assemblies too much. At least until after testing next month. #ageduchat

@amylu8643 That is a really good idea! #ageduchat

#ageduchat please feel free to put your resources on our ag wiki http://tinyurl.com/4ez25oy

@mcoley Q3 Yeah, we have a lot of them in MI. Lots of consolidation of CTE programs to cut costs. Where most growth in FFA is. #ageduchat

@sollmana I didn't know your program was in a CTC. That really makes it hard for #FFAWeek11 activities. #ageduchat

@drewbender we have "johnnie" period after the one hour late start every wednesday :) no fighting for time needed. already there #ageduchat

Definitely great ideas!! RT @kathrynshallen: Q3 wow, @amylu8643 that sounds fantastic!! #ageduchat

@amylu8643 Oh ic. That works out pretty well then. #ageduchat

@amylu8643 Q3: Sounds like you have a busy #FFAweek11 planned. Awesome! #ageduchat

Q3 Yeah, I'm of the belief that there are pro's and con's to CTCs and traditional HS's. Ya work with what you've got! #ageduchat

@sollmana Amen. #ageduchat

@mcoley Just keeping up the crazy schedule :) The lack of sleep I get is always worth it! I have amazing students. #ageduchat

RT @amylu8643: @mcoley Just keeping up the crazy schedule :) The lack of sleep I get is always worth it! I have amazing students. #ageduchat

@amylu8643 Yeah, stuff like that makes me miss teaching. #ageduchat

Q3 home school celebrates #ffaweek11 on a completely different week so kids can do a tractor to school day, EVERYONE loves it #ageduchat

Q4 coming up soon so get your last ideas on Q3 out there! #ageduchat

Q3 @kathrynshallen Neat idea to reschedule so you can celebrate FFA in a way that works for your community! #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen Q3: Interesting. Are home school students a big part of FFA in your area? #ffaweek11 #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen Q3 I know quite a few that celebrate during National Ag Week next month. #ffaweek11 #ageduchat

Q3 @mcoley no... *my home school, sorry #ageduchat

Q3 You could always split activities between ffa week and national ag week. We plan to do a leasson in the elem during ag week. #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: We've kind of eluded to this, but let's expand: Q3 via @drewbender How do you work with Admin to do FFA Week activities? #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen Lol, oh ok. My fault. Home school programs have been a hot topic in NC FFA so my brain went straight to that. #ageduchat

Q3 Yep, @drewbender... we also tend to have mon/tues off this week so they get more time later #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: We've kind of eluded to this, but let's expand: Q3 via @drewbender How do you work with Admin to do FFA Week activities? #ageduchat

@AgEduChat Q3 or Q4? #ageduchat

Excuse me, that should be Q4 not Q3: How do you work with Admin to do FFA Week activities? #ageduchat

@mcoley Thanks for the catch! My bad :S #ageduchat

Q3 @mcoley, really... how so? we sort of have a 4-H vs FFA battle in that area... #ageduchat

Q4: My program had a lot of trouble getting Admins involved in anything. But personal invites and visits from students helps #ageduchat

Q4 I send my principal a schedule for the week of our main activities at the beginning of the week. #ageduchat

Q4: We always made sure to include administration in planning prior to #FFAweek11. Makes them feel invested in its success. #ageduchat

Q4 @drewbender Does a week get you the response you want? #ageduchat

RT @mcoley: Q4: We always made sure to include admin in planning prior to #FFAweek11. Makes them feel invested in its success. #ageduchat

@sollmana I would say for the most part, yes. No complaints yet at least. #ageduchat

RT @mcoley: @kathrynshallen New state policy which allows any home school "group" to start a FFA chapter with no real agedu courses. #ageduchat

Q4 agree with all... once we did that our district superintendent started attending our alum auction, spent $400 last year!! #ageduchat

Q4 We also let the entire HS staff approve. We have dress code "johnnie wear", so we plan a dress up like a cowgirl/cowboy day. #ageduchat

RT @mcoley: @kathrynshallen New state policy which allows any home school "group" to start a FFA chapter with no real agedu courses. #ageduchat

@afreder Good idea to involve advisory board. #ageduchat

Awesome! RT @kathrynshallen: Q4 Once we did that our superintendent started attending our alum auction, spent $400 last year!! #ageduchat

RT @drewbender: @afreder Good idea to involve advisory board. #ageduchat

Q4: We do $1 donation, since any time they get dress down day they pay, we are donating some & some frosh will get a jacket free #ageduchat

Wow, @mcoley... so I can imagine that is causing some interesting conversions! #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen What kind of items do you usually have for your auction? #ageduchat

@afreder Don't forget to use #ageduchat in your posts.

@AgEduChat hopefully admin R part of your advisory board already, ask them 2 help plan events with members #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen it is always nice to have admin willing to do that! My principal bought a jacket for a student this year. #ageduchat

RT @celestelaurent: At my home chapter #FFA won more state titles than any athletic teams. When u give admins something to brag about, they cooperate #ageduchat

RT @amylu8643 Q4 We do $1 donation, any time they get dress down day they pay, donating some & some frosh will get jacket free #ageduchat

@celestelaurent #FFA #ageduchat This is very true!

@celestelaurent Very true! Also helps when you can prove you help with test scores in future classes. #FFA #ageduchat

HAHA, @drewbender... whatever is donated (seed corn/soybeans, baseball tickets, gift certs)... #ageduchat

RT @celestelaurent: Home FFA chapter won more titles than athletics. When u give admin something to brag about, they cooperate #ageduchat

RT @afreder: @AgEduChat hopefully admin R part of your advisory board already, ask them 2 help plan events with members #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen Cool. Might have to consider that for next year. #ageduchat

That's so awesome @amylu8643!! He already commited $200 to the meal this year... we got REALLY lucky when they hired 4yr ago!! #ageduchat

@mcoley @celestelaurent We have a no pass, no activities rule. Classes are certainly an important part of what FFA teaches. #ageduchat

Q4 @kathrynshallen Do you do an auction as part of your banquet too? Always wonder how many auctions is too many.... #ageduchat

@drewbender yes! the ag business class members get a letter and a list of businesses to go to for donations #ageduchat

@kathrynshallen That is great! Our super bought all the staff meals from our bbq in the fall. major help 1st time fundraiser. #ageduchat

Q4 Loving the talk of supportive administrators. I think they are invaluable. #ageduchat

RT @celestelaurent: At my home chapter #FFA won more state titles than any athletic teams. When u give admins something to brag about, they cooperate #ageduchat

Q4 @sollmana, it is just an auction with a free meal... no auction at end of the year "banquet" #ageduchat

RT @celestelaurent: At my home chapter #FFA won more state titles than any athletic teams. When u give admins something to brag about, they cooperate #ageduchat

@mcoley So true! FFA students dominate the state mandated testing! #ageduchat

Agreed, way 2 go Ag teachers! RT@AgEduChat Q4 Loving the talk of supportive administrators. I think they are invaluable. #ageduchat

@KansasFFA Join us over at #ageduchat for discussion about FFA Week activities. #ffaweek11

Q4 My chapter is very lucky too. Our principal lets us keep some animals at school, definitely raises questions from students. #ageduchat

Q5 is coming up shortly.... #ageduchat

#ageduchat Q4 Ideas on how to convince admin Ag needs to be on our HS/

@lelanatty Q4 Animals raise questions from non-ag students? Like they're interested in learning more? #ageduchat

@padgets Contact the State AgEdu staff for talking points. Many times once admins realize what #agedu is today, they love it. #ageduchat

@padgets Show that there is interest and supprt from other students, parents, and teachers. #ageduchat

@padgets #ageduchat If you have any past students willing to do so, ask them to come back and share with admins how Ag helped them

@padgets Would encourage you to find out who is the CTE leader for ag in Iowa. They should be your mediator to get ag program. #ageduchat

Q4 Students can do the speaking on that. Data. Community support all go a long way in convincing Admin #ageduchat

Q4 The other staff also see it's importance. I have a teacher who reminds me of it everyday. #ageduchat

@sollmana Definitely. When we are out feeding, other students walk by, ask us what we are doing, what it's for, etc. #ageduchat

Q5 Let's help @nationalffa out. Are there any resources they could help you with to celebrate #FFAWeek12? #ageduchat

@drewbender Q5 Would be sweet! Know @randabraune & @Bethany_Lane tweet. Now only if I could get @Alex_Henry tweeting ;) #ageduchat

Having an #FFA video contest about #FFAweek12 activities would be really neat too. @Nationalffa #ageduchat

Q6 (Last one): Why is it important for schools and chapters to celebrate #FFAWeek11? #ageduchat

RT @AgEduChat: Q6 (Last one): Why is it important for schools and chapters to celebrate #FFAWeek11? #ageduchat

Q6 I think it all goes back to the message: awareness #ageduchat

@AgEduChat Q6, 4 positive PR, recruitment/retention, and community/chapter/school pride! #ffaweek11 #ageduchat

Q6 I think its important mostly for the students. For them to make other aware of what #Agedu classes and #ffa is all about. #ageduchat

RT @sollmana: Q6 Even though you can fall into pit of showcasing FFA as independent, #FFAWeek11 is opportunity to show how it fits into ag ed. #ageduchat

Q6: As it's been said numerous times tonight, promoting your program & building awareness of #agedu is what #FFAWeek11 is about. #ageduchat

Q6 In both my home school & my school now, no other student org involves the school as much as #FFA does. #ageduchat

Q6 FFA Week is a chance to take time out of regular routines and celebrate what FFA does for us. #ageduchat

RT @lelanatty: Q6 FFA Week is a chance to take time out of regular routines and celebrate what FFA does for us. #ageduchat

Q6 I also think it's important to spread awareness within chapter. I know we had active kids and not so active kids. #ageduchat

@sollmana @drewbender Honest question, is there anyway to get a transcript of #ageduchat? Would love to document this and save it over time.
