A good 4-H Goal identifies what you want to happen and when. • How can you get where you are
going if you don’t know where you are headed?
• Yes you may discover other things along the way or fall into a learning situation, but it will inspire you to plan for the next time

The Judging Process should be a learning process

It is important for you to consider the judging process as much more than awarding ribbons • You have the opportunity to help that young
person grow in their ability to see an exhibit as a product of their learning
• To help them Understand the learning• Help them understand how they can
evaluate their own exhibits as well as others

As you begin the judging process…• Always show excitement to meet the 4-H’er
and model good communication skills• Spend some time looking through the write-
up to recognize their hard work but always focus on the 4-H’er…a balancing act
• 4-H’ers should be able to respond to these three questions:1. What was your exhibit goal?2. How do you go about working toward that goal?3. What were the most important things you
learned working on your goal?

As you begin the judging process…
• How do you handle expertise beyond their age?
• How do you take the age and experience of the 4-H’er into the judging process?
• What if an Exhibit is clearly in the wrong class based on their goal or their learning explanation?
