CR Teaching Teaching Entrepreneurship: Curriculum Guide: 2

Teaching Entrepreneurship is a curriculum guide for new and experienced instructors who want a structured yet flexible outline for teaching in Business and Technology. Eva Marie Foxwell’s lessons are designed with a focus on giving teachers dynamic and interactive lessons, guided learning ideas, detailed assignments, formative and summative assessments, and a wealth of classroom material.  For students, this curriculum guide is designed to provide space to think, reflect, create, and collaborate toward formal projects that engage real-world business expectations.  Each lesson comes with step-by-step activity guides, classroom management tips, sections to customize, and questions for teacher reflection.  Lessons are designed to give teachers activities, materials, and scaffolded learning toward a major assignment, for the duration of one class period of either 50 or 75 minutes, depending on your school’s schedule. However, teachers may expand, contract, or omit components as they see fit. One lesson may take 1 class period or 1 week, depending on your scheduling needs or student ability. Each lesson is three pages long. The first Lesson page contains a Lesson Overview, a space for you to write any specific announcements or reminders, list of required materials, list of the lesson’s objectives, and suggested learning accommodations. The second Lesson page contains a a step-by-step activity and discussion guide, synthesis activity or questions, and formative assessment questions. The final lesson page is a teacher reflection space, with questions for your own reflection after the lesson has ended, and space for your own notes and action items. Lessons can be used directly from the book, or photocopied.      Review The Business Networking Event at BSS has become a must attend for me. I am so impressed with the work of the 7th grade students in the development of their business plans and the level of detail involved. Each year I have parents share that they wish they had a course like this in High School or College. As impressive as the business knowledge is the development of the student's soft skills and how professionally they interact with adults during the event. Mrs. Foxwell is an extraordinary teacher and the Business Networking Event is a great demonstration of the student's achievements...Hugh Broomall, Deputy Superintendent of Red Clay Consolidated Schools __________________________________________________________________________________________ I was amazed with the work and knowledge the 7th graders had about starting their own business. They completed an entire business from the ground up. I believe some of the things my son learned, I did not learn until I was in college as a business major. I was thoroughly impressed with the leadership from Mrs. Foxwell. My son created the business of his dreams!"...BSS Parent _______________________________________________________________________________________ Wow! I was truly in awe seeing our kids interacting with such confidence and enthusiasm. This Technology class has been differently a wonderful building block for our future leaders. Mrs. Foxwell you certainly have a brilliant way of teaching. Thank you!...Proud Parent of BSS __________________________________________________________________________________________ All the kids did a great job at presenting their businesses and they really enjoyed the learning experience, which will follow them the rest of their lives...BSS Parent __________________________________________________________________________________________ The students were courteous, professional and knowledgeable.
