Career Education Business Education Changes
With the start of the 2006-07 school year, Business Education will become an Approved Career Education program. School districts currently having approved Career Education Business Education courses will be able to report all Business Education courses (except Keyboarding, Introduction to Business and Business Math) as Career Education Business Education. It will no longer be necessary to submit an application for every course that you would like to have approved in Career Education.
 |
The sample Business Career Pathways document will help the Business Education department to design a sequence of courses in relation to career pathways. This document will be very important to guidance counselors and students as they design a four-year program of study. For Business Education departments this can be a challenge since many courses touch all three business pathways. Competencies for all business education courses can be found by clicking on the Competency Profiles button on the left.
