Description
NOW Available for High School Business, ELA, and CTE Teachers! A curriculum where students will learn…
HOW TO BE A BOSS…
Taking them From Students to Business Owners in 10 Lessons
A quick message on how this curriculum came about:
I looked around the classroom. Based on the students' body language, a blaring red flag went up for me.
Some students were using their desks as pillows. The few students strong enough to keep their head up wore frowns or blank expressions drained of life, staring into space.
What were they thinking should happen during instructional time?
I couldn't move on with the lesson. I needed to know.
I halted the instruction to ask, 'What's the problem? What do you not learn in school that you desperately wish you did?" Their answers caused me to ask the same question to every class since. Year after year, the replies have been the same.
I'm grateful I asked that question that day because it sparked a year-long effort to write curricula that would truly address their needs.
Their answer to my question?
Wait. Let me tell you...before they even answered…
Heads sprung up, frowns turned to genuine smiles, and life flooded back into their blank stares.
Sliding to the edge of their seats, they said in ONE voice, 'We want to learn real-world stuff, Mister…You know, like practical things we can use when we leave here. Important stuff like how to pay your taxes, how you get credit, or how to start a business."
After hearing their insightful ideas and feelings, inside I leaped with joy! I knew I had to do something. So I did.
Soon after, I sat down at my study table and talked to Gary, the co-author of 'How to Be a Boss," determined to create something powerful - a unit that would inspire and transform.
This unit will engage students in a way that other units simply can't.
It will transform students into business-minded thinkers who see their education as valuable for everyday life.
They will engage in ways that many aren't being engaged now - because students crave information they can use the moment they step foot off campus " in the 'real world."
If you want your students to learn life-changing, practical information related to business, keep reading to discover more about this curriculum, 'How to Be a Boss," has in store for you and your students.
