3 3.0 Achieving Standards of Excellence Overview We encounter standards at all ages and stages of life. Most have been developed by experts. Sometimes the individual responsible for achieving or living up to the standards is involved in developing them. Some standards have developed over time and are generally understood and accepted, though not written down. Many rites of passage can be called standards. These include religious and civil ceremonies that indicate a stage of life has been reached. Examples include marriage; bar mitzvah, confirmation or catechism; voting eligibility; and registering for military service. Other rites of passage include buying a house, moving out of parent s home, and retirement. Societal requirements that indicate a level of ability of skill can be called standards. They include a driver s license, Red Cross life saving certificate, CPR certificate, etc. Some standards define a level of education or qualifications to perform a specific job. These include a high school diploma; post high school degree; or licensing for nursing, engineering, social work, or teaching certificates. The levels of achievement in the horse project are 4-H examples. Expectations about personal behavior often are less obvious standards. Examples include ground rules for a youth group or family rules. In some situations, adults set standards for young people. In others, youth and adults together establish standards. In some situations, standards are determined by the individual or group of people who are working toward the standards. Examples are social clubs, behavior expectations for a field trip, or grade contracts for academic work. It is important to remember that standards for behavior set by adults may be very difficult for youth to understand, and these standards often fail to take into account personal standards set by the young person. Standards relate to a socially accepted product or positive behavior. However, standards can encourage deviant behavior. Examples of deviant behavior are when rules are used by groups to promote racial hatred, gang violence, or hazing.

4 3.0 Standards may be used to include or exclude people. This occurs in both the workplace and in private life. Standards for hiring or promotion can be established so personal characteristics aren t used inappropriately in the workplace. In the private sector, standards can be used to prevent people from buying real estate in a certain neighborhood or joining a country club, sorority, fraternity, or fraternal organization. Standards can be used so inequities do not occur. In 4-H educational programs, standards are used in two ways. First, standards are established by subject matter and youth development specialists to provide a base for young people to use as they plan and work toward their goals. Examples are exhibit criteria, scorecards, and judging sheets, etc. Second, professional staff and/or volunteers and young people work together to establish standards. Examples are behavior desired at 4-H camp, expectations of 4-H ers involved in meetings, and appropriate dress for 4-H events. Teaching young people skills needed to meet or achieve standards has a lifelong benefit. 4-H has excelled in recognizing 4-H ers who have achieved standards of excellence, but we need to continue to improve the way we use this type of recognition.

5 3.1 Frequently Asked Questions What Are Performance Standards? Performance standards are a set of guidelines for member participation; in Florida, there are several options for youth and/or clubs to work toward. As members or groups complete the levels of standard, they are presented an award. What Is Expected of 4-H Members? The various levels of standards are listed in each age category by the following levels: BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, and EMERALD Clover Awards. The expectations become greater as the 4-H member matures through Cloverbud, Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels. There are four (4) levels of 4-H achievement recognition in each category. The levels of standards are based on participation in the 4-H program at the County, District, State, and National 4-H events, as well as Leadership, Citizenship and Community Service project areas. Florida 4-H Recognition: Helping Youth Grow Module 3: Standards of Excellence Frequently asked Questions, Page 1 of 2

6 3.1 Why Are Performance Standards a Part of the 4-H Program? Performance standards make youth aware of the opportunities available in the 4-H program and to encourage members to become active participants. Who awards the members for achieving performance standards? The club s volunteer leader will verify the achievement of the standard when the 4-H member has completed their work. Additional recognition will be given to members at the county or state level based on the performance standard achieved. What is awarded to the members? 4-H members at each age level should have age appropriate awards. It is suggested that the County Office provide awards based on their ability to recognize youth. An easy way for counties to recognize youth might be to take the following suggestions: BRONZE Clover Member will receive a BRONZE Clover Certificate and name printed in the 4-H newsletter. SILVER Clover Member will receive a SILVER Clover Certificate, Clover points and name printed in the 4-H newsletter. GOLD Clover Member will receive a Gold Clover Certificate, Clover points, and name printed in the 4-H newsletter. An invitation to age specific activities may be included. EMERALD Clover Member will receive a EMERALD Clover Certificate, Clover points, name printed in the 4-H newsletter and name in a news article submitted to the local newspaper for publication. An invitation to age specific activities may be included. When Are These Awards Given to Members? These awards might be presented during a 4-H meeting or during a special recognition program. Are Clubs Eligible for Performance Standards Recognition? Clubs may strive to meet specific standards of performance just as many club members will work to achieve standards. Each of the four levels of standards are available for clubs to achieve. Club Award Levels Florida 4-H Recognition: Helping Youth Grow Module 3: Standards of Excellence Frequently asked Questions, Page 2 of 2

7 3.2 What Others Types of Recognition Are Associated with Achieving Standards? In addition to performance standards, 4-H members may also be recognized for Achievement of Standards through the preparation or demonstration of a product or behavior that is evaluated by an expert and deemed to meet the pre-determined standards for a quality product or behavior. These standards are often a part of the judging process seen at fairs and exhibits. Some examples of these pre-determined standards are the scorecards used for 4-H demonstration/illustrated talks, share the fun, or public speaking. Copies of these standard scorecards can be found in the appendix of this module. Additionally, many 4-H programs provide the pre-determined standards use for products for exhibition. There are several systems of recognizing youth against these standards, an often used one is the Danish System of blue, red and white awards. The Danish System of ribbons is usually interpreted to mean there is no special formula about the number of blue, red or white ribbons to be given. Quality, measured against product standards and fulfillment of exhibit requirements determine the ranking. An accepted standard for ribbons are as follows: BLUE overall the work is of high quality. Excellent. RED overall the work is of average quality. Good. WHITE overall the work is below average quality. Fair or Needs Improvement. The Florida 4-H Program Events and Activities Handbook ( 4H VOL 70) and the 4-H Events website provides listing of all the rules and regulations for district, state and national competitive and non-competitive 4-H events and activities. Specific rules and regulations for National competitions are available from the Florida 4-H Events Coordinator.

8 3.211 Achieving Standards of Excellence Member Project Medals Award Criteria & Procedure 4-H Project Medals have traditionally been used to recognize youth for completion of project activities at the county level. Counties may vary in the criteria and distribution of these project medals. Selection of members for county award medals should be based on the Danish System of judging where any member meeting a certain standard is rewarded a project medal for successful completion of the project. Florida 4-H recommends the following criteria for use: Section 1: Project Plans and Goals (10%) Project Goals Setting obtainable and relevant goals Adult Support effort made to work with adult peers to create learning experiences. Section 2: Project Highlights (50%) Project Accomplishments showing progress toward goals Improvement of Skills gaining new knowledge through the project work Future Plans learning from experiences and using the skills for future experiences Project Leadership Leadership activities within your project work Project Citizenship Participation in Citizenship activities within your project work Section 3: Project Attachments (40%) Project Book using activities to improve knowledge and skills in the project Project Pictures shows member actively engaged in learning experiences Project Story portrays project experiences and reflects on skills learned Where and How to Order Project Recognition Medals Project medals are available from the National 4-H Council/Supply Service. The 4-H Events office will work with project areas unique to the state and can supply the vendor listing of any state specific medals. The Florida 4-H Foundation will send an annual payment to each county for the purchase of county recognition medals. Current funding pays for approximately 20 recognition medals for each county. Counties must request these funds each year from the Florida 4-H Foundation. Florida 4-H Recognition: Helping Youth Grow Module 3: Standards of Excellence Performance Standard Awards, Page 1 of 1

15 3.22 Achieving Standards of Excellence Club Recognition Florida 4-H Club Charters Official 4-H club charters are offered to 4-H clubs as a requirement to use the 4-H name and emblem. All 4-H clubs, organized on either a formal or informal basis, using the name and emblem of 4-H must have some type of written evidence that recognizes them as part of the 4-H program conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service. Such evidence should include: a copy of an application form for a national 4-H Club Charter sent to the local Extension agent; and a written reply from the local Extension agent, including the club s charter certificate, recognizing the group or unit as an official 4-H organization and authorizing use of the 4-H name and emblem. Individual clubs may have continuous use of their charter over many years, however, an annual Request for Continuance, is required by all club leaders. A charter is issued or continued to a club when it meets the following requirements: At least five members enrolled in a project An organization with the necessary youth leadership One or more local leaders A planned program for the year When requesting a Club Charter the Charter Request Form should be filled out by the Club Secretary and signed by the Club President, Club Leader, and Extension Agent. Once completed, the Extension Agent will then forward the request to the Stat 4-H Office. Florida has established criteria for enrolling as an official 4-H Club. Clubs must be charted through a request to the local Extension Office, meeting the minimum criteria and a signature request for a charter. Official enrollment as a 4-H Club / receipt of a 4-H Club Charter gives the club the authority to use the 4-H name and emblem. Examples of what may be necessary for official enrollment are as follows: The local club has five members (from at least two families) with completed enrollments The club is organized with youth officers There are one or more appointed and trained club leaders Florida 4-H Recognition: Helping Youth Grow Module 3: Standards of Excellence Club Recognition, Page 1 of 2
