      Introduction

      Teaching Entrepreneurship is Eva Marie Foxwell’s second book. Her first book, Managing the Classroom, focuses on bringing curriculum to life in the classroom with live role-play and scenarios. Giving students career-ready education in a student-centered classroom prepares them to serve as strong leaders as they learn the fundamentals of becoming an entrepreneur.

      This Teaching Entrepreneurship curriculum guide is meant for use after you have read Managing the Classroom, as the lessons here will be based upon the skills, learning styles, and classroom arrangement in the first book.

      For a fully integrated curriculum on Teaching Entrepreneurship, you can purchase Managing the Classroom at www.crteaching.com.

      How to Use This Curriculum Guide

      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.

      Teachers are encouraged to use these templates as strictly or loosely as they wish. There can be any level of deviation, customization, or combination that works best for your grade level, reading level, business resources, business community, administrative support, and collaborative possibilities at your school.

      It is therefore highly recommended that teachers read through this entire curriculum guide before the beginning of the year, in order to assess for themselves the best way to use the provided materials.

      What You Will Find in Each Unit

      Lessons

      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.

      Assignments

      Each Unit is centered around one major assignment, complete with clearly articulated requirements and state learning indicators. Each assignment will ask students to explore, analyze, interpret, reflect, or synthesize business skills and knowledge.

      Assignments A, B, C, and D are the four major assignments for the course. Smaller assignments within each Unit correspond to a Lesson number. For example, B.16 is the smaller assignment for Lesson 16 within Unit B.

      Quizzes

      Short tests of knowledge, worth 50 points each, will help teachers quickly and regularly assess student learning. Students will need to demonstrate knowledge of business terms,
