Deliver an effective enterprise and entrepreneurship education experience
Overview
This standard is about being able to deliver an enterprise and entrepreneurship education experience that adds value to the journey of the learner. It requires you to plan the session, develop a session outline, use appropriate teaching and learning methods and exercises, manage the interaction with the learner, communicate learning exercises clearly, engage the learner in learning exercises and communicate preparation required for future sessions.
For the purposes of this standard, enterprise and entrepreneurship education refers to the process of equipping learners with an enhanced capacity, ideas and skills to make ideas happen, whether it is in the context of starting and running a business or working for someone else. Enterprise refers to a set of personal abilities, skills and behaviours which can be used in a variety of different contexts whilst entrepreneurship refers to an individual or group of individuals creating, developing and managing a new venture. Institution refers to the organisation you work in, whether this is a school, further education college, higher education institution or private training provider.
This standard is recommended for individuals involved in the design, development and delivery of enterprise and entrepreneurship education curricula in schools, colleges, higher education institutions and other education contexts.
