This guide provides a blueprint to bridge the gap between the business world and the educational world in your classroom. Whether you are a secondary teacher tasked with teaching business concepts or an industry professional teaching career and technical education (CTE) who is new to the school environment, these ready-to-implement strategies and resources make the transition an easy one. Following a ""toolbox"" theme, chapters outline the nuts, bolts, and other keys to success for those new to teaching CTE. Each chapter presents a different lesson for the business classroom, including personal stories, student quotes, material lists, steps to implement the lessons, assessment options, hints for success, and supplementary digital resources for you to download and use immediately. The author includes both classroom strategies and full lessons to make this your all-in-one solution to starting out in CTE. Ideal for both secondary business teachers and ""second career"" teachers entering the classroom from the industry side, this book helps reduce preparation time for new teachers and smooth the transition into this relevant and essential area of learning.
