- W225752135 abstract "As I prepare to enter the real world following my student teaching in December of 2003, I look ahead to all of the expectations that are being placed on my generation of teachers. These expectations will come from within myself as well as the school district for which I am going to be working. Those that weigh heavy on my mind are the new teaching standards that are about to come into effect, the probationary period before I am granted a renewal of my license, the demands of preparing for class every day, and the advisory role(s) that I will be asked to fill. One of the most challenging aspects will be successfully filling the advisor position. Along with this prestigious title come numerous benefits and responsibilities. Remembering what we have talked about briefly in class regarding contracts, you have your 9-month school contract with, depending upon the school, a 20-40 day summer contract. The nine months in school are usually from 8:00am until 4:00pm and the occasional weekend for training and other job related courses. However, we all know that these aren't the hours that most of us put in. We usually find ourselves coming in early, staying late, and working the weekends to stay caught up. Having just completed a semester of pre-student teaching at Darlington H.S. in Darlington, WI, under the supervision of Mr. Troy Lobdell, I have been exposed to a small cross-section of the life of an agriculture teacher. Also, thinking back to high school, I can remember countless mornings of arriving at the high school around 7am to practice for a particular contest, to have an officer meeting, or to crunch for the upcoming banquet that all of the students wanted to be flawless. When I wasn't playing sports, I found myself back in the agriculture room most evenings, for the same activities that had brought me in early that morning. There also seemed to be a suburban van leaving from the agriculture room frequently on Friday afternoons or Saturday mornings to go to a contest, workshop, or leadership conference. At the time, going on trips, attending workshops and leadership conferences seemed like a wonderful life. These activities took me away from at least one day of farm labor, which I loved, and my father hated. Now, as I prepare to become the leader of such organized chaos, the role somehow seems to not be quite as glamorous as it used to be. The countless hours, long weekends, and lack of down time appears to be an endless cycle. When school has let out for the summer and other teachers are enjoying some rest and relaxation, we agriculture teachers are gearing up for summer Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) visits, local, county, and state fairs, state FFA Conventions, and countless other picnics and alumni meetings. Some might say don't push yourself so hard; it's not worth the headache. To those people I must say that I would not be doing my job properly if I didn't provide every possible opportunity, within reason, to my students. After all, isn't that why we got into education, to help educate the children of this great nation? Those options were there for me and I feel obligated to provide those same opportunities for success to my students. I can remember the proud look on my advisor's face when we won awards or competitions. To know that I had a hand in the success of an individual is what will make it all worthwhile. Also, as I sit in the teacher's lounge and listen to the news, I hear nothing but budget crises, teacher cuts, pay cuts, benefit cuts, program cuts and all of those wonderful phrases that get tossed around in tough financial times. Soon, those teachers who sit back and don't advise or assist with extracurricular activities might find that they aren't as necessary as they thought they were. If I am an FFA advisor to the FFA and I am busting my tail to bring home trophies and awards to gain the school and the community positive recognition, they are going to have a hard time telling me and convincing the school board that they can't find the money to fund the agriculture program. …" @default.
