4-H Mission Mandates
  • Identified by National 4-H Headquarters and
    aligned with efforts of USDA, CSREES LGUs
  • Clearly articulate program priorities
  • Provide a framework to organize and focus program
    development, management, and evaluation and
  • Leads to stronger and more effective youth
    programs, staff and volunteer development,
    evaluation, and financial human resource
    support.

10
SET Guiding Principles
  • Programs in the context of positive youth
    development
  • Mastery, Independence, Belonging, Generosity
  • Programs are based on National Standards
  • National Science Education Standards content
    and abilities/behaviors
  • 4-H SET involves Youth/Adult Partnerships
  • 4-H SET is delivered in a variety of settings and
    locations and involves diverse audiences

11
How do we address 4-H SET as a system?


  • Professional Development
  • Competencies
  • Intentional Facilitation Strategies
  • Community-Based Implementation
  • Curriculum
  • Rubric - guidelines
  • Intentional Learning Opportunities
  • Land Grant Development
  • Evaluation
  • Begin with the End in Mind- Logic Model
  • Start where you are in your programming
  • Be Outcome based

Partnerships
  • National/Federal level partnerships are intended
    to assist state and county professionals.
  • Examples of current partnerships
  • Lemelson-MIT
  • National Association of Rocketry
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

16
Initiatives on the Horizon
  • Addressing overall water challenges in the
    U.S.
  • Revised robotics and rocketry curricula and
    learning resources
  • Renewed focus on animal and plant sciences
  • Expanding 4-H SET in urban areas.

4-H SET in Urban CommunitiesThree Year Plan
18
Urban Communities Survey
  • Demographics
  • Interest in Project
  • Delivery Modes
  • Curricular Areas
  • Programming Descriptions
  • Keys to Success
  • Strongest Needs

19
Respondents (139)
  • 139 respondents (local 4-H professionals working
    in a community of 50,000 or more)

20
Population of Cities (139)
21
Summary from Survey
  • Significant interest in pilot programs, urban
    committee, and mentoring opportunities.
  • 2/3 4-H Afterschool, ½ summer day camps, 1/5
    campus-based
  • Nearly 40 or more in energy, robotics, digital
    filmmaking/photo., GPS/GIS, and engineering.
  • Partnerships are overwhelmingly seen as key to
    successful urban 4-H SET programs.
  • Hands-on, experiential, relevant, and engaging
    programming is seen as key to success.

22
Why Youth Filmmaking?
  • Curriculum that combines science with leadership
    and civic engagement.
  • From 4-H SET in Urban Communities Survey
    Strongest Needs
  • 4-H Filmmaking Studio.
  • 40 survey respondents currently programming in
    filmmaking and/or photography.
  • Potential for Teens as Teachers.
  • Sharing, program celebration, and recognition.
