March 17th - 21st

Agriculture Education

Cody High School

Mr. Troy Wiant

Hours: 4 hours


March 21st - 

  • Help with livestock judging reasons 
  • Observe Classroom

Elaboration:

    Morgan and I went into the classroom together all day on Friday March 21st. Throughout this day in the classroom Morgan and I helped students with livestock judging and reasons most of the day. The students have some FFA contests coming up, so we helped them prepare for those contests. Morgan and I would pick the livestock classes the students would judge then prepare reasons for the class. They would present to us and we would critique to help them improve. The students were eager to learn and improve in livestock judging. 

Reflection:

    As I reflected last week I have started to really enjoy one-and-one work with students and being able to help them improve their abilities like livestock judging. Students gave me sets of reasons, then I gave them different pointers to help them improve. They are always eager to learn about how to improve and learn more livestock terms or ways I give reasons. Working with these students gives me joy and really makes me excited with working with students in the future!

         My first visit with Mr. Wiant in the agriculture classroom in the high school was good! I got to talk to Mr. Wiant about times that would work for me to be in the classroom and all about the practicum handbook/program. Mr. Wiant and the students were very welcoming to me. I got to know some of his FFA officers pretty well and talked about their futures as most of them are seniors. It was a chill and welcoming first visit. All the Cody High School staff was very welcoming as well!!        I went and helped teach a lesson for the first time to the to the middle schoolers  about animal identification . It was so fun to meet and interact with all of students! They are a great group of students that are interactive and show interest in learning about agriculture. We did three different hands on activities with the students after teaching them about identifiction on livestock. The first one was letting them make their own brand a...

 Leah Beery Journal #3 February 10th - 14th Agriculture Education Cody High School Mr. Troy Wiant Hours: 3 hours February 11th Discuss diseases in livestock with students Observed class How does your teacher demonstrate intercultural competence as he/she implements classroom management strategies?       My mentor teacher demonstrates intercultural competence by getting to know all his students. During all his different classes he is good at connecting with every student in the class and asking how their lesson could relate to their lives. Like for example part of his lesson he was asking students about what livestock diseases are common in cattle and horse. He personally asked one student what disease they have most common in their cattle herd, but then later asked another student about if she has had any of the diseases discussed in her horses. He stills shows interest in the students who aren't as involved in agriculture too, still asking them if they kne...

Each class has the routine of getting their note taking books out of the back cabinets in his classroom, then sit and pay attention to what Mr. Wiant has planned for the day. He makes sure there is no funny business going on and starts teaching. Mostly lectures to the students but makes sure to asks question to keep the students engaged as much as he can.
