Overview
This week we will begin the big project
which will be a continuing
focus of our course throughout the year,
school-based enterprise (SBE).
SBE will provide us with the practical, hands-on skills we want to learn to
become entreprenuers.
Thursday and Friday, September 24th and 25th
Class Goals / Tasks
Today we will have the groups you selected last class present their answers to the given questions, and use these presentations to begin planning for our own SBE intitiatives at our school.
Tuesday and Wednesday, September 22nd and 23rd
Class Goals / Tasks
Today we will investigate SBE and start planning for how we want to implement it in our class this year.
Read through the following websites:
- DECA: School-Based Enterprise
- Virginia Department of Education: CTE High-quality Work-based Learning (HQWBL)
- Maryland Department of Education: School-Based Enterprises - Division of College and Career Pathways
- DECA: Non-Traditional SBE's: Unique Locations
- Goochland County Public Schools: Work-Based Learning
We'll form self-selected groups of four to discuss these questions. In period 4A, the groups are:
Pierre, Kevin, Simon, and Adam R. Brooklyn, Aya, Arnav, Alice Sami, Jonah, Patrick, and Aaron Ronan, Wesley, Jackson, and Zahir Faris, Jaxon, Jack, and Ivan Merrill, Aleena, Isabella, and Jeylin Kobi, Omar, and Sam
In period 5B we have:
Juliette, Evie, Erin, Freiner, Andy, and Sindy Israel, Zach, Ethan, and Phillip Dewin, Dean, Yohanis, and Oliver Julian, Zanai, Gus, and Micah Gavin, Ishaan, Davi, and Danny Benjamin, Rohan, Tim, and Simon Zion, John, Eric, Ben
As you read through the websites, jot down some notes / thoughts on the following questions:
- What is school based enterprise? How would you describe it in your own words to a classmate at GHC in another course who asked you about it?
-
What makes the Warren County and Elk River DECA SBEs
non-traditional
? - What are the different skills we would need to have to successfully run SBEs at GHC?
- What kinds of teams should we organize so that we have different members of our class focusing on the skills you identified in the previous question available to our SBE project?
- What kinds of SBEs do you think we could start here at GHC?
- Take a look at the DECA Corporate Challenges. Do any of these appeal to you? If they do, you could make this DECA activity part of your project based learning in this class.
Have someone in your group act as recorder, who will be responsible for having your group responses ready to submit at the beginning of the next class.
