Entrepreneurship is an excellent real-world lens for teaching economics and personal finance while simultaneously preparing students for the Innovation & Gig Economy. In fact, nearly 50% of young people say they intend to start their own business someday. This webinar will share research-based reasons to integrate entrepreneurship education across K-12 core academic subjects, CTE career pathways, and economics and personal finance courses. An introduction to basic entrepreneurship concepts, skills, and mindsets, including design thinking and lean canvas, will also be included, along with age-appropriate, classroom-ready entrepreneurship resources.
Fee: NO CHARGE
