We need business & marketing teachers as presenters for KACTE Summer Conference!  Please share your knowledge!  You will be glad you did!KACTE Summer Program Call for Presentation

2020 Conference Details and Registration
The 2020 CTE Summer Program will be held at the Galt House Hotel and Suites, Louisville, KY July 26-29, 2020. 

​Registration will be available by February.  

2. Business/Marketing Jobs in Demand

Picture
Recently, The Morning Brew shared the following chart of U.S. Employment by Industry.  Business & Marketing jobs are in demand! This would be great information to share with students, parents and administration.
​





​ I find this very interesting the millions of jobs in Business & Marketing far outweigh all other sectors combined.
 
Business, Retail Trade, Hospitality, and Finance are in the top six when the number of jobs in these industries are considered.  ​


3. LEAD4CHANGE Student Leadership Program

FREE resources available!
Opportunity for schools to win up to $10,000 for community service project.  A great opportunity to use these resources for FBLA or DECA Chapters!
 LEAD4CHANGE TRANSFORMS TEENS INTO SERVICE LEADERS
 
Lead4Change Student Leadership Program provides Advisers with a free, turn-key program that aligns with standards such as social emotional learning, 21st century skills, CTE, etc.  Our Evidence Based Research shows how the program instills self-confidence, leadership, teamwork and more.  Students learn leadership skills then execute a service project that benefits the community.  They become more engaged and walk away from the program gaining important lifelong skills.  

Chapters could win up to $10,000 for their community service project by entering the Lead4Change Challenge.   And, Lead4Change projects may also be submitted for CTSO’s competitive events.  Lead4Change puts leadership in the hands of students, with the teacher serving as the coach, helping them reach their full potential. 

​Learn more and become a member at:   www.lead4change.org   
Lead4Change is privately funded by the Novak Family Foundation and free to all schools nationwide.

Resources and Updates from MBA Research & Curriculum Center
MBA Research is a not-for-profit working in partnership with business administration educators.

Are you trying to bring projects into the classroom but struggle with a consistent structure to use while managing those projects? Project Management tools, techniques and templates can help bring structure to constructive chaos. Free, high quality resources are available thanks to support from the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation (PMIEF). In this video, teachers explain how they use project management tools in the classroom.

“This was the best professional development for Business, Marketing, Finance and Entrepreneurship teachers. The sessions are focused on your content areas and the sessions are taught by both experts in the field as well as teachers who are in the trenches. The shared ideas, strategies and tips that you take away are priceless. I’m looking forward to the next Conclave.” –Melody Johnston, Meridian Tech (OK)
