The business consultant presents activities which supplement the teacher's economic chapters. Junior Achievement's Economic program, now in use in my senior high classroom, provides excellent variety in the teaching of a basic course in Economics. The text, study guide, student company, consultant visits, and computer simulation all play an integral part in the diversified program. It teaches students not only employability skills but about leadership, problem solving and work ethic. Each program acts as a supplement in the classroom with a business consultant or volunteer presenting the activities.
Consultants add their own personal experiences, including their successes and challenges in life.
The programs range from six classroom visits to an entire semester involving classroom activities, video assessments, and actual community projects. JA is all about becoming part of the solution. Your access and use of this Website are expressly subject to the terms and conditions set forth here.
