Elementary School Curriculum “Business educators at this level begin with the assumption that learning is lifelong. They serve as resource persons, technology coordinators, peer coaches, media specialists, or team teachers. By partnering with elementary teachers, business educators integrage technology and career awareness into the curriculum.”

Middle/Junior High School Curriculum “In middle/junior high school business educators teach students to use technology effectively in the learning process, regardless of subject matter. Students are introduced to basic business entrepreneurial and personal finance concepts and how these are integrated into a business venture. In realistic simulations learners apply technology skills and demonstrate the soft skills needed to become effective and successful in the business world.

High School Curriculum “Business educators at the secondary (high school) level facilitate learning in a student-centered environment, guiding learners as they develop the skills needed to be effective consumers, citizens, workers, and business leaders. Learning is customized. Learners select projects based on personal and career interests working independently or in teams to use a wide range of technologies to solve unstructured problems. All of these opportunities support students’ desires for independence and creativity as well as their need for collaboration. Learners continue to explore careers, apply work-based skills, gain business experience, and participate in student organizations.”

Vocational/Technical Schools “Two-year postsecondary/community colleges or technical colleges are ideal places for providing education and training to people who want to broaden their education experiences, change careers, expand employability options, and/or upgrade technological skills. Certificate and degree programs, when combined with practical work experience, can smooth the transition from high school to two- and four-year colleges or to the business world. A variety of available learning formats affords students the opportunity to develop advanced technological skills, refine their understanding of economic principles and systems, and enhance their proficiency and communication, critical thinking, management, personal finance, problem solving, team building, and decision making.”
