AET for Chapters
The concept of a "Chapter AET" is probably new to most teachers. While
students have always kept FFA records in some way, there has never been an
automatic way for teachers to summarize and analyze those records.
The Chapter AET is a place where teachers can manage their students, organize
their program activities, and access a wealth of reports and statistics. Through the measurement and analysis of students’ data, the AET
can help
teachers to continuously improve their local programs. Teachers can help school administrators and
community leaders become more aware and supportive of local programs.
Beginning in Fall 2008, the Chapter AET is free to any FFA Chapter in the United
States.
The Chapter AET is organized into several sections:
- Profile - The profile is a place where you can update general information
about your programs and configure the AET with your preferences.
- Accounts - The accounts section is where you create and manage your
student roster.
- Tracker - The Chapter Tracker organizes a program's calendar of events.
Each event can be assigned to a Program of Activities committee, and those
students can collaborate to plan and document the activity. A Chapter's
travel and expenditures on activities create an economic impact to the local and
regional economy. The Chapter Tracker provides a way to capture and
analyze this data.
- Reports - Most reports in the AET can be customized to analyze one
student's data, groups of students, or the entire local program. When students keep good records
throughout the year, the AET will help your program make more informed business
decisions. Knowing that your chapter spends $12,000 on feed annually, for
example, might help you recruit community sponsors for activities. Knowing
that pigs don't seem to make money - but goats have a great return on investment
- might help you guide students toward more profitable enterprises.
- Toolbox - The toolbox is the place for a variety of other tools that help
you manage your classroom and program. The Portfolio is a place where you
can store files, share files with your students, and access the AET Community.
