Improvement SAE Book The Improvement Project is designed to be used by anyone attempting to improve the value or appearance of the home, place of employment, community, or school; the efficiency of an enterprise or business, or the living conditions of the family.

Improvement SAE Book

Unlike the other SAE Books/Project types, the Improvement SAE will usually involve a number of diverse activities or a series of steps over a long period of time or days to complete the project. A separate SAE Improvement project is not completed for each individual improvement project. The SAE Improvement project should encompass all activities and improvement projects conducted during the record year.

Improvement SAE Book Individual Improvement Projects may be completed by:

• Only the student• With the help of others or family• As part of a much larger group or class

Regardless of the type of individual improvement project, you can not keep SAE records as both an improvement project and another type such as Skills and Tasks or Entrepreneurship.

Blank pages or parts of blank pages will be shown during this presentation. General directions will be given followed by entries for an Improvement SAE Project. New entries will be shown in Blue Print.

Pages 1 and 2Agreement - Contract Pages

These pages are a legal agreement between the signing parties.

• It must be typed or written in ink.

• It must be signed in blue or black.• It should be completed before the SAE project begins.

Some projects may be completed at home alone or with family members, while others are done in the community or as part of a class project. The key is to use you imagination when developing your project list.

All SAE projects may have special conditions or arrangements that should be taken care of before the project starts. This is especially true for an improvement project, since there could be major expenses with little or no income. It is best if all parties know what to expect before the project begins.

Our family's living room is in an old house built in the early 1900's.

It was recently rewired, but the old wall paper is a dark pattern and

pealing off the wall. The entire room needs to be updated so the

family can be proud to have company in our home. Once the walls

ceiling, and woodwork are painted the room will be carpeted.

All painting must be completed before the flooring is done.

Enter the jobs or practices that need to be done for successful completion of the improvement project. Each practice should have a start date and an estimation of the hours by the student and others needed to complete the project. For good planning and organization, it is recommended that you list the practices in the order that they would be started.

The proposed budget of cash costs is exactly what the name implies. Before the project begins you must be certain that funds or financing are available to cover the expenses. There should be an understanding as to who will pay any needed expenses. This should agree with the information on Page 2. Try to make the budget as accurate as possible. Also remember that you may be able to take advance of sales if you plan in advance.

Page 5 should be duplicated many times so you can tell the story of your Project in pictures. Drawings, blueprints, or plans can be included depending upon the actual project. The photos you use may show before, during and after the project. You will need to decide how to best tell present the information. Include a description or a narrative with each photo. Note: Since you should not combine photos from different individual projects on the same page, it is not necessary to list the improvement project number besides the photos since this information is given at the top of each page 5.

Many projects should have before and after photos. Other items to be included on page 5 based on the example individual improvement projects on Page 1 would include such things as: landscape plans, copies of the Eagle Scout ceremony program, newspaper articles and bills; copies of Kelly Blue Book value showing the change in values from a truck in poor to excellent condition. Remember to use your imagination to document your SAE project.

Page 10 should be used to evaluate all of the individual improvement projects. Evaluations should be completed by the student, parents, teacher, or other individuals that have been involved with the various projects. More than one person may write an evaluation on the page. Try to group the evaluations for individual improvement projects together when possible. You may want to have a separate page 10 for each individual improvement project; however, this is not necessary especially when some individuals supervise or oversee numerous projects. Make certain that the evaluation identifies the individual project or project number that is being evaluated.

Project 1 – Painting the Living Room

March 12, 20xx – Jim Smith – I completed painting the living room and the new carpet and furniture has been ordered. During the project I learned that removing old wall paper, and fixing up plaster walls is more difficult than I expected. The actual painting was what I expected; however the preparation and cleanup were much more difficult. The only unexpected item was the need to replace one of the receptacles. I personally think the room looks great and can’t wait to have friends come over to our home. Jim Smith

March 13, 20xx – Jacob Smith – Jim finished the living room project and did a great job. I am proud of the fact that he was able to complete the project within the time frame that was set up. He has developed a much better understanding to time management and the need to complete projects on time. Of course the fact that the TV could not be used while the project was underway may have had a factor in when the project was completed. At first Jim had difficultly understanding the need for proper preparation, but once I showed him the results of a poor job, there were no more problems. He quickly learned how to properly use all the tools for this project. The new carpet should be installed in a week and we plan to allow Jim to have his friends over for a party in two weeks. Jacob Smith

April 23, 20xx - RJMcKlosky – I saw the living room and the photos didn’t do justice to the job Jim did. RJMcKlosky
