These strategies are suggestions only, designed to provide guidance for generalist and specialist teachers planning instruction to meet the prescribed learning outcomes. The strategies may be either teacher directed or student directed, or both. For each organizer, a list of specific strategies is introduced by a context statement that focusses the reader on the important aspects of this section of the curriculum and links the prescribed learning outcomes with instruction. It is expected that teachers will adapt, modify, combine, and organize instructional strategies to meet the needs of students and to respond to local requirements. The suggested instructional strategies may be undertaken by individual students, partners, or small groups.
Emphasis is given to the following strategies.
Strategies that use technology. Students use technology in the business education and economics courses to access information, to calculate, and to enhance the presentation of ideas. Strategies that develop applied skills. In order to see economics and business as relevant and useful, students must learn how they can be applied to a variety of real-world situations. Instructional strategies should be designed to help students understand their world, and identify and solve problems that occur in their daily lives.
