The Agricultural Education LDE is designed for FFA members to develop,
practice, and demonstrate skills in teaching agricultural education. Each
part of the event simulates, as closely as possible, real-world classroom
teaching and learning activities and procedures.

*Registration for CDE is not complete until the Lesson Plan is turned in by

*Date and Time: *
*Area 3 and 4 - Tuesday, February 27th - Camp John Hope - Activity Center *
*This LDE takes place the same day at the region Poultry Judging CDE. *
Once registration closes and we know the number of students participating,
you will be able to sign up for a specific presentation time that day.
There will be two judging rooms: an Area 4 room and an Area 3 room.
The top two participants in each area will move on to the state
competition.
*Event Details:*
This event is open to FFA members in *grades 9-12* and is limited to *one
student per chapter*.
On the Area level, the Agricultural Education CDE will consist of three
parts:
1. Organize, prepare, and write a lesson plan using the “Lesson Plan
Submission” guidelines.
2. Teach a 4-6 minute interest approach from the lesson plan to a panel of
judges; no students will be present, and judges will not ask follow-up
questions.
- The rubric for the Area presentation can be found on page 8 of the
guidelines attached and linked below.
3. Complete a multiple-choice exam
On the Area level of competition, students will still turn in a full lesson
plan and take a quiz. However, the teaching practicum on the area level
will require the student to teach a 4-6 minute interest approach rather
than teach the full lesson. An interest approach presentation rubric for
the Area level has been added to the CDE guidelines.
