PART I:
WHAT IS AN SAEP?
The 'Supervised Agricultural Experience Program' is a learning-bydoing process. Through it, agricultural education students reinforce
learning by applying skills and knowledge acquired in class and shop
by means of an ownership and/or non-ownership project.
1.
Serves as a "road-map" for project development.
2.
Allows the student to establish short and long range project
goals.

components.
