Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time we are submitting three (3) new Career Technical Education (CTE) courses in the Marketing, Sales, and Services Sector titled RCOE Virtual Enterprise, RCOE Entrepreneurship, and RCOE Entrepreneurial TNT (Traits and Trends). All three of these courses meet the UC/CSU A-G Requirement “G”.
RCOE Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business, established and ran by the students through an instructional program designed to prepare them for working in a global business environment. The students determine the nature of the business, its products and services, and its management and structure. They learn the daily operations of a business under the guidance of a consultant (teacher) with the support of the community business partners. Students use current business software packages and the internet for virtual business transactions, research and resources. This is a Concentration course for the Entrepreneurship/Self-Employment Pathway. This course can be articulated with Mount San Jacinto College course BADM 103 Intro to Business.
RCOE Entrepreneurship provides students with an opportunity to explore and integrate the basic principles of business management, marketing, sales, small business start up, and operations. Students will apply these principles to the development of a business plan document appropriate for an entrepreneur. The course will incorporate all aspects, personally and professionally, of the scope functions, and strategies for comprehensive business planning. It encapsulates the scope of an entrepreneurial career pathway, and provides workplace learning experiences in various forms, including possible community Externships with local businesses and entrepreneurs, practical management and operational practice in a school site based enterprise, or connections with community partners or student organizations for evaluation and collaboration of virtual or planned business. This is a Concentration course for the Entrepreneurship/Self-Employment Pathway.
RCOE Entrepreneurial TNT (Traits & Trends) is designed to give students an opportunity to investigate the concept of entrepreneurship focusing on two main dimensions: Entrepreneurship’s economic role in the US free market economy; and the defining characteristics of entrepreneurs in general, and specifically how those traits are congruent with those necessary for self-employment. Both of these two dimensions will be explored from a historical perspective, analyzing past trends and traits, and using these analyses to evaluate future trends. Students will focus on both individual and collaborative research to develop and participate in collaborative discourse, evidence-based writing, and multimedia presentations. They will develop a portfolio that will not only demonstrate their findings and analysis of various dimensions of entrepreneurial enterprises and thinking, but will also profice a guide for future endeavors and studies that coincide with their own strengths and interests. This is the Capstone course for the Entrepreneurship/Self-Employment Pathway. This course can be articulated with the Mount San Jacinto College course BADM 150.
The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
