Within Spirit Box Academy, there are 3 units, 5 modules within each unit, and a growing lesson library around each module. Under each module there are lesson plans, activities, PowerPoints, worksheets, case studies, and blog posts. Within the module there are level 1 (introduction to the concepts) and level 2 (advanced students who are applying what they have learned to their Spirit Box or School Based Enterprise) lessons.
It is time to celebrate CTE Month! CTE does so much for Spirit Box Teams and DECA.
“Career and Technical Education Month®, or CTE Month®, is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of CTE and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across the country.” (Association for Career & Technical Education)
Before you start a business you need to ask yourself, is my business needed or wanted? It is incredibly important to not assume that it is and do research before dedicating yourself to a business that will not succeed. There are two steps to take before diving in; complete market research and a competitive analysis.
In the last 20 years, our world rapidly changed. The internet boomed, technology advanced, and our world and jobs adapted. These rapid changes lead many schools to pivot to teaching 21st century skills in the classroom.These skills break down into 3 main areas of focus: learning skills, literacy skills, and life skills.
To be honest, we are just a team of entrepreneurs hoping to give the next generation the best tools to succeed so they have an advantage as they enter the ‘real world’. We know that teachers are the role models students will remember, and Spirit Box Academy has been developed to support them with relevant tools to help make the biggest, longest lasting impression possible.
Here’s the thing, we get that project-based learning can be intimidating. You are working so hard for your students already, so adding a new element to the classroom can sound daunting. On top of that, introducing a new curriculum and program to your students is a big step. We get that. That is why we have designed this program to make its implementation as easy for you as possible.
The Spirit Box has allowed me to put a foot in the door for future occupation opportunities. By expanding my knowledge in the field of business, I will be able to stand out in a crowd and thrive at nearly any occupation and accomplish any task I am assigned.
I have learned a little bit of everything in the field of business. The SBE encouraged me to look at every single aspect of business and allowed me to closely look at each of these aspects and how they differ between other businesses. We learned that by first mastering these aspects of our own business, the Spirit Boxes.
We’d love to share more about how Spirit Box can help your program.
