  • 1. HOW CAN YOU "ENGAGE" YOUR STUDENTS?

    Do you want to really know what tomorrow's Entrepreneurs are doing today? Read about them in "Future CEO Stars Magazine" ! It is completely free and on-line at http://www.fcsmag.com

    Our young people can do amazing things when challenged to pursue their passions. Entrepreneurship programs provide those challenges, and Future CEO Stars captures the stories of young entrepreneurs who are putting their talents to work. Each month your students can access the magazine online at no cost, including all the magazines published in the last two years.

    Learn how to use all the features of the electronic version of the magazine with an easy to understand "how to" on the homepage. Sign on for a free alert each month when the new issue is available.

    Another new feature is the addition of videos from some of our young entrepreneurs addressing where their ventures are going and what they are learning about being an entrepreneur. We encourage past authors to submit a YouTube video to share on the website.

    Special for EDUCATORS is a new section on the website featuring a series of activities tied to the articles in each issue. Ronni Cohen of the Delaware Money School has taken on the challenge of helping teachers imbed the magazine articles in their curriculum. We encourage Teachers to sample activities each month tied to "thinking" about the articles in the magazine. After all, it is free to everyone, thanks to our sponsors. The August Issue is available online now....and September is coming soon.

    Help your students find the opportunities to use FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube to chat about entrepreneurship education and their businesses ...and even find new customers on the special Future CEO Stars sites.

  • 2. DID YOU KNOW?

    The Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education was founded almost 30 years ago to assist teachers interested in providing entrepreneurship experiences for their students. We wish we could know what all those thousands of students are doing with their lives today.

    But school is underway and we have thousands of young people looking for their career options and meaningful education experiences right now. We believe that ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION provides a wealth of teaching opportunities for you as teachers in every discipline.

    Are you interested in FREE Entrepreneurship Education resources? Are you curious about what educators all over the country are doing to prepare tomorrow's leaders today? Are you looking for new ideas to inspire tomorrow's Entrepreneurs? All this and more is available at the brand new Consortium website http://www.entre-ed.org

    SPECIAL FEATURES each month include 4 of our young entrepreneurs from past issues of "Future CEO Stars" and their story linked to their picture. Also we will feature outstanding member organizations as the "Entre-ed Stars" on the homepage, with attached extensive story and pictures. ANNOUNCEMENTS will move down the right side of the page....with links to the resource. We encourage submission of information to be posted there.

    TAKE TIME TO EXPLORE ... Most of the information from the old site is still available on the brand new version of the Consortium main website. But now it is all organized in categories supporting "Entrepreneurship Everywhere"....

    *** WHY... ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION? This section provides you with a number of items to explain the need for entrepreneurship education in a variety of educational settings.
