Supervised Agriculture Experience Webquest

Introduction

Every student in an agriculture class is required to have a Supervised Agriculture Experience, also known as an SAE. There are two types of SAE's, Foundational and Immersion, under the Immersion SAE category there are 5 subcategories. The subcategories are placement/internship, ownership/entrepreneurship, research: experimental, analysis or invention, school-based enterprise, and service learning.
