Facilitators:
As stated in the email you all received – please follow the instructions on this page as to provide us with the necessary information needed to jump start our spring hatch! Also, please be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to find vital resources and forms for your review.

Teachers/Facilitators will receive a hard copy of the 4-H Embryology Hatching curriculum on the day of pickup of all other project supplies. This curriculum will be required to return along with the hatched chicks and other materials on designated return day.

Please complete the following survey ASAP! Thanks for your response.
*Please note that this survey only needs to be completed ONCE per school. This survey is designed to solicit the response from the single teacher or LEAD teacher overseeing the program at their individual schools. Once all teachers have responded the decisions will be made as to which school will participate in which round, that information will then be dispersed at that time.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

**If you would like or need any of the following: justification and/or informational material for school administrators (to approve current or future embryology participation), a sample parent letter on our letterhead informing them their child will be participating in an embryology project, or any health-related responses to egg handling concerns please contact catherine_daniels@ncsu.edu for these templates and for more information.**

Chicken Embryo Development Images
We love this site from Nebraska Extension as it serves as an excellent source for viewing embryo development within a chicken’s incubation period and hatching cycle in a series of detailed images. This resource is most helpful for candling.

4-H SPECIFIC FORMS:

4-H Youth Media Release/Consent Form
We LOVE to see pictures of your youth participating in the project! Share with us any exciting pictures of students making observations, turning their eggs, constructing their brooder boxes, or eagerly awaiting the hatched birds. We loved to see documented successes and we enjoy sharing those smiling faces with stakeholders who support the embryology project, including the egg vendor/farmer themselves. By having your students complete this consent form it will allow pictures to be shared and/or used for marketing purposes.

2020 4-H-Embryology: Teacher Evaluation & Customer Satisfaction Survey
Teachers will receive a hard copy of the evaluation when they pick up their materials to begin the project. You may fax this completed evaluation back to our office at 704-336-6876, scan in/email to catherine_daniels@ncsu.edu, or return along with your incubators and hatched chicks after you’ve completed the project. Evaluations are used to obtain resourceful information of program impact, ways to improve, and to record documented success stories for Extension reporting purposes.

4-H Monthly Reporting Form for Curriculum Use (Hard Copy)
You may fax this completed form back to our office at 704-336-6876, scan in/email to catherine_daniels@ncsu.edu, or return along with your incubators and hatched chicks after you’ve completed the project. We find that some teachers prefer the hard copy method so they can hand tally their student numbers.

4-H Monthly Reporting Form for Curriculum Use (Online Entry through Google Forms)
This is the direct link to our monthly reporting form for curriculum use. This information is CRUCIAL to our programming. We appreciate all the feedback you can provide to describe your curriculum usage. We are pleased that we are able to provide such wonderful curriculum and resources for free to our schools, however, in order to continue to justify the provision of these materials, we must have numbers to document our ‘reach’. By completing this reporting form (once per embryology project) you will be helping us tremendously. To reduce confusion it is suggested that the single or the lead teacher complete this once for their embryology round. Lead teachers should obtain rosters and other information from the other participating classrooms, compile the numbers/demographics, and complete the survey once for their school.
