| Building a Standards-Based Entrepreneurship Program-of-Study | Entrepreneurship Forum: Pre-Conference Curriculum Workshop
Saturday: November 13, 2010, 8:30 - 3:30, Columbus, Ohio
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs such as business or marketing education focus on skills and concepts that represent what matters most in the real world. Participants in this pre-conference workshop will move beyond "be-the-boss dreaming" to an in-depth look at strategies for building an in-depth entrepreneurship curriculum that balances the creative side with the hard facts of starting and growing a business. Leave this session with hands-on experience and a step-by-step process for creating a high school program-of-study that meets Perkins requirements and that provides high school students a realistic start on start-up. Details.

Thinking Project-based, but not sure how to start? (Conclave sessions)
The MBA Conclave will feature a variety of sessions focused on moving to a project-based learning approach. Staff from MBAResearch will differentiate the design and use of projects for review and the design and use of projects for new learning. And, they'll share in some detail the challenges teachers may encounter when creating projects, solutions and processes that can make project development easier, and MBAResearch's own approach to crafting standards-based, relevant projects. Participants in this session will leave with resources and ideas that they can use to develop effective, successful project-based learning projects.
Julie Beis, a successful High School of Business™ instructor, will address the issue of standards and projects coexistence. Specifically, she'll help participants understand how to implement a student project with a standards perspective, offering specific tips for ensuring that students are learning what they need to know for the test, even as they learn in the context of a real-world project.
And, back by popular demand, Justin Servis, a Cincinnati area teacher, will share his expertise with building projects around a major school event that serves multiple purposes, including learning, fund-raising, and recruiting.
