I have learned how to help students learn and gain soft skills. Within my classroom I can incorporate time-management activities. By helping students prioritize tasks can help them reach their goals they have set for themselves. Another takeaway from this module was on how students’ can gain industry certificates while still in high school. This is something that I am interested in learning more about and how this can look in at school. Lastly, by incorporating industry workers as speakers will only better prepare students for what the real world is like in the career area.
The biggest takeaway for me is the idea of adding industry certifications to my SBE. I want to further research this and see how I could add that as an additional benefit for my students. I see a lot of benefits to this and could see where my admin would really like that added benefit aswell.
I would like to give students more autonomy in the business. From a planning perspective, giving students the tasks and allowing them to figure things out can be hard to measure. What is enough time and what is too much time. How do we keep them motivated? I usually end up micromanaging this a bit for time's sake, but I probably need to step back and let the students take more control so they can have successes and failures that are entirely theirs.
