Welcome to one of 12 Business, Marketing and Information Technology Quality Modules! The purpose of these modules is to illustrate quality examples of each of the 2018 ACTE Quality CTE Framework elements. Regardless if you are in a pre-service education program or an experienced educator, these modules will benefit your future and business & marketing program11. Work-based Learning addresses the delivery of a continuum of work-based learning involving sustained, meaningful interactions with industry or community professionals that foster in-depth, firsthand engagement with the tasks required in a given career field. Experiences may be delivered in workplaces, in the community, at educational institutions and/or virtually, as appropriate, and include a range of activities such as workplace tours, job shadowing, school-based enterprises, internships and apprenticeships.

Subject covers technology concepts and trends underlying current and future developments in information technology, and fundamental principles for the effective use of computer-based information systems. Special emphasis on networks and distributed computing, including the web. Other topics include: hardware and operating systems, software development tools and processes, relational databases, security and cryptography, enterprise applications and business process redesign, and electronic commerce. Hands-on exposure to Web, database, and graphical user interface (GUI) tools. Primarily for Sloan master's students.

I developed a new Organizational Behavior course that will be used in the Business Management program at Western Technical College. This is the first core course in the program and it is designed to introduce students to human behaviors in the workplace. This course provides an overview of organizational behavior with readings, graphics, and videos all located in one convenient place. Additionally, effective communication is emphasized and students are encouraged to cultivate a growth mindset. By incorporating business communication concepts, students can explore the correlation between communication and workplace behaviors. Additionally, by periodically addressing a growth mindset throughout the course, students are encouraged to reflect on their attitudes and behaviors in both college and the workplace.

This resource was developed for a new Principles of Management course to be used in the Business Management program at Western Technical College. This course is designed to introduce students to the POLC framework as well as basic business concepts. Each concept will be covered in more detail in subsequent classes in the program.

This project has great potential to eliminate unnecessary costs and time to students by offering them an overview of business in general, as well as an overview of what’s to come in the program. Students will learn the basics while preparing to go more in depth as the program progresses.

Overall, this project has been a great experience for us. We hope to hear positive feedback from faculty and students.
