Description
Possessing entrepreneurial skills and knowledge of management tools is not only important for business owners. These skills as teachers help us improve key areas of our domain – classroom management, planning the learning process, bringing the best out of our students, and preparing them for the employment market. Furthermore, if we empower students with entrepreneurial skills such as negotiation, leadership, management, or presentation, we open them up to many opportunities, because these are all transferable skills that will be beneficial for them whichever career path they choose to follow.
For these reasons, the key focus of the course is on the development of entrepreneurial skills for teachers, so that the teaching-training process becomes more qualitative and efficient. The other key focus is on empowering teachers with the tools and knowledge to be able to develop their students’ entrepreneurial skills within the classroom and better prepare them for the future.
The course puts emphasis on developing teachers’ entrepreneurial skills and empowers them with methods and tools to give this knowledge further to their students.
