Entrepreneurship Institute: Putting Ideas Into Action

To achieve economic empowerment, students need knowledge and skills that promote creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation in order to become productive entrepreneurs and employees in our ever-changing global economy. Rooted in performance-based learning and assessment, the lessons demonstrated at this 4-day Institute reinforce 21st century skills while covering most of the economics learning standards in Civics & Economics and Economics & Personal Finance as well as many of the Career Investigation competencies and some personal finance learning standards. This real-world, entrepreneurship lens for economics instruction also offers a broader context for current events and multidisciplinary instruction in Math, English, and science. Teachers who successfully completed the entire Institute and passed a test earned the credential of a VCEE Certified Economics Educator: Entrepreneurship.
