Episode 1 Teacher's Guide
This Teacher's Guide includes activities and ideas to help you plan lessons for live student meetings. Because teachers’ group meetings will vary, this guide does not include scheduled instructional plans, rather activities to do with your group and tips for presenting the materials. You can pick and choose the activities that best fit your group, timeframe, and meeting frequency.
The suggested lessons and materials included in this guide are designed to support students in deciding whether starting a small business is right for them. Towards this end, included are several conversation activities. Questions and answers with the teacher, pair work and group conversation all support the student in developing the networking skills they will need as entrepreneurs.
