Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship Work Values

Daily Duties at Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship:

I became one of the first certified entrepreneurship teachers for NFTE (National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship) in 2002. At that time I taught entrepreneurship to at-risk youth and special education high school students by creating ad hoc lessons from my business experience. Along with a few other certified teachers, those lessons were bundled together and became the 2nd edition of the NFTE high school classroom textbook which I ghostwrote for. Over next few years, I continued to design lessons, test them in the classroom and codify the breakthroughs that became the 3rd through 9th editions of the curriculum. In this time I was able to instruct over thousand students from the target population. In 2007, I became a certified teacher trainer and flew around the country training 30 teachers at a time in week long seminar trainings. I also was the direct interface between these teachers and how the newest version of the curriculum was implemented in their classroom. Under my guidance, the teachers submitted feedback on the curriculum and the revisions were used to become the 11th edition of the textbook. In addition, I designed, taught and measured professional development workshops for teachers to fill in the gaps in their knowledge such as spreadsheet construction, finance, public speaking and using LMS. I also created a program that brought the target population on to college campuses called MBA For A Day and used it as an opportunity to raise money from high profile private donors.

What they like about Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
