For those who plan to get your school–based enterprise (SBE) certified this year, you need to go to www.schoolbasedenterprises.org, download the 07–08 guidelines and start preparing your documentation. Participating in the Certification Program is a great way for SBEs to get recognition for outstanding achievement and to validate with your administration that your school store is an integral part of your Marketing Education curriculum.
SBEs who achieve certification at the bronze or silver level will receive recognition at the state level. All SBEs who achieve at the gold level will be eligible to bring an advisor and 1 – 3 student manager(s) to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC), with approval of the State Advisor. During ICDC, those SBEs who achieve gold level certification and those re–certifying at the gold level, will be recognized on stage and also participate in the new SBE Academy.
Don't forget, SBEs must submit their documentation to DECA Inc. (1908 Association Drive, Reston, VA 20191) postmarked no later than January 14, 2008, for verification of the award achievement level. If you have any questions about certification, contact Sissy Long at sjldeca@aol.com.
Announcing New SBE Academy at ICDC for Gold Certified School Stores
Starting this year in Atlanta, Gold Level Certified SBEs who attend ICDC will participate in a School-based Enterprise Academy. As a part of the Academy, students will make presentations on topics relating to school store operation and the top three presenters on each topic will be video taped. These instructions tapes will be added to the SBE web site as a teaching/learning resource for other school stores.
More details regarding the SBE Academy will be forthcoming.
