One of the biggest challenges with any curriculum is keeping it current and relevant. YEA scours all its sources on a regular basis to provide relevant articles and ideas directly from today's entrepreneurial environment. (The Entrepreneurial Life)

 

How do I get the biggest benefit from YEA involvement?

Before any YEA volunteer visits your classroom you should review the relevant pre-class preparation for that section. You can even download classroom notes to give your students beforehand so they will already have relevant information and a basis on which they can take personal notes.(Click here for curriculum)

 

After the classroom visit, you should take advantage of our student worksheets to put their newly learned knowledge into practice. You can also make use of our post-visit quizzes, tests, and activities. (Click here for curriculum)

 

YEA provides teacher training sessions for instructors of entrepreneur classes each quarter. Contact us for details on the next training session or to schedule one for your own school district.
