Nevada Regional Technical Center begins High School of Business Program
Nevada Daily Mail
Nevada Regional Technical Center has been selected as a school site for the High School of Business program. The program is designed to challenge students through accelerated, project-based curriculum delivered in the context of business problems. Students completing the program will be positioned to excel in college-level business administration programs. Nevada Regional Technical Center is one of only six sites in the state to implement High School of Business.
Students participating in High School of Business will take part in project-based learning, which incorporates the learning of required skills into the process of solving real world business problems. Students will complete a series of rigorous business administration courses. In addition, students will use technology in each course, hear from subject-matter expert guest speakers, complete an observational internship, and learn about business and community diversity through a partnership with a sister school.
Teachers and administrators are working together to ensure the students receive the best possible education through the program. This includes required professional development for all teachers who teach High School of Business courses as well as the establishment of a High School of Business Steering Team.
The Steering Team brings together teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors with local business executives and college faculty. This diverse group serves as the directors of the program.
High School of Business (www.MBAResearch.org/HSB) is a program of MBAResearch, a non-profit organization specializing in educational research and the development of business and marketing curriculum for high schools and colleges.
