Students were given an opportunity to choose BizWorld as an elective. As a social studies teacher, it is important to me to teach students how to be financially responsible, while also providing them with leadership opportunities. Students were engaged and excited to build their business. We live in the Outer Banks, where there are more family owned/small businesses then chains. A lot of my students have parents who own these businesses, so they were excited to learn the foundations while creating something of their own. Studnets were excited abougt walking into the classroom. After each session, they asked if theyc ould come back. We adapted the program by looking at small businesses and thought about how we coudl create something new to support the community as a whole.
