Is there anyone out there that has any helpful hints for the School Based Enterprise event from National DECA. I tried to do the project this year with my Advanced Marketing class, but there were many obstacles that didn't allow us to complete it in time. Basically, I am asking for pointers that helped you accomplish the goal for becoming a certified School Based Enterprise.Thank you in advance

We hear over and over about companies that have spent when they shouldn't and then get bailed out from the government, but still find the money to give big bonuses. Where is the DECA bailout?Each year we travel to conferences with student, the future of our country, but we continue to hear things like, "you need to fundraise," or, "we just can't help you pay for that this year." So we look for

This concept could not have been more poignant today as I begin to reflect on an event that was held last year at my high school. A 12 hour walkathon was held as a fundraiser / awareness campaign for a local family. I arrived at 2AM because I volunteered to come in with a DJ service, JProductions and help him setup to provide entertainment for all the walkers and volunteers and carry them until

Do you subscribe to Trendwatching.com? I find it useful for interesting news items and of course, trends, to share with my students. The site is run by a trend firm based in Amsterdam, and provides insight to consumer trends around the world.The link below is to their October briefing (you can sign up to receive a free monthly briefing). The topic for October was what they called “Perkonomics”

Recently, while I was researching something for a class, I came across this list of the 17 Indisputable Rules of Teamwork by John Maxwell. I liked the list so much I have printed it and sent it to some of my friends, many of which have been on my team in life. It adds a little perspective to things when you consider that the middle class in our country is shrinking and your generation is more

One of the great things about the advancement of videos on the Internet has been the ability to easily post and view them online.  While You Tube has become a cultural phenomenon as well as a major distraction for teenagers, I have found that it does have some good uses.    One of the things I have found out about students today is that even though they watch a ridiculous amount of TV, they

Have you ever asked your students, "What do you want to do when you graduate?” maybe you’ve put forth the following, "Have you ever considered becoming an entrepreneur?" "An entrepre-what?" may be the response.Perhaps you are teaching entrepreneurship in your marketing program, or maybe you're not. Either way, here are some reasons why you should.Successful entrepreneurs often share similar

For the past couple of years I have been trying to incorporate movies into my classes more and more. Some people would say that this is a bad thing, but I truly think it is a way for us to engage our students with a format that is familiar to them.I should mention that I don't just put the kids in a room and let them watch a movie. I always have a reason for the movie and I always have a

I have been involved with DECA for more than 15 years as a student, employee of DECA Inc., and as an advisor, but even with this experience I feel like I am behind when it comes to keeping my students on the cutting edge of DECA competition.

Even though I have been teaching for 7+ years, I find myself every August trying to figure out how I am going to organize my classes differently so that I can be most productive. This year I began teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing, which got me thinking. Why can't everyday be a game. So I decided to format my classes in a way that follows a typical football game, with a few minor changes.

Hello, I hope the beginning of everyone's school year is going well.This past summer I took a class on how to create my own Moodle and I learned more than creating an online marketing course. I learned that there is an abundance of video and podcast teaching tools available. I found that You Tube and other sites including Entrepreneur.com have great videos that my students can learn from.

Have you ever thought about how all the little things you do each day help create a brand for your program, because you are the face of your program? If you thought about it, would you do some things differently knowing that? Hopefully the answer is "no" and they are you who you are at work and at play.I read a book called "How" by Dov Seidman. The full title is "How: Why How We Do Anything

The first few weeks of school can be crazy especially if you are a new teacher.  You’re learning about the school, trying to figure out the students, and working to keep them interested in what’s going on.  The last thing you want to have happen is to have a class of 25 students all hating Marketing because it’s sooo boring.  And you know how broad some of the first few chapters of the Marketing

One of my biggest projects I do in my classes is the eBay project. I have students donate items to sell on eBay and the proceeds go to a charity. The students learn the basics of eBay and the decisions needed to be made. They essentially go through the 4 P's of Marketing in this decision making process. (What to sell, what price, what categories, etc., what wording should be used to catch
