  • 1. ENTREPRENEURS....Living the AMERICAN DREAM!

    It is time to begin planning for the selection of an outstanding entrepreneur for the National Honor Roll of Entrepreneurs. Starting with National Entrepreneurship Week 2011, your local program will be featured on the national website as the sponsor of this outstanding entrepreneur from "Your Hometown, USA".

    Check out the criteria we ask everyone to use in making your nomination....see the National Entrepreneurship Week website at http://www.entre-week.org/eweek_files/CEEHonorslocalEntre...

    Submit your nominee to us as soon as January 1, and we will begin posting each entrepreneur's story as a link to the National Entrepreneurship Week website. You will want to have your Entrepreneur on the list of states linked to the website homepage. The goal is to have lots of entrepreneurs nominated from your state!

    Find lots of ideas and resources to use in planning your celebration of the 5th annual NATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK, February 19 - 26, 2011, on our special website at http://www.entre-week.org. Let us know what else you need that we can provide for everyone on this site.

  • 2. PUBLICITY IDEA FOR YOUR ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM!

    STUDENT ACTIVITY .... Compete for the BEST Media Release supporting your Entrepreneur!

    Once you have nominated your outstanding entrepreneur we have a suggested activity for your students. Think about the value of a media release contest among your students....one that could get interest from the press for your top submissions. If you wish to do this we will link the winning media release(s) to the Honor Roll nomination from your organization. . . . Just another idea to encourage people to know your program exists and get the media curious about what you are teaching about entrepreneurship!

    ENTREPRENEURS....Living the AMERICAN DREAM! Student Instructions:

    • Identify the leadership assets and unique learning experiences exemplified by your local outstanding entrepreneur ... for ideas look at the "20 Questions for All Americans"
    • Create a 100 word (maximum) media release that illustrates the relationship between what you are learning in entrepreneurship education and one or more of the personal assets of your outstanding entrepreneur.
    • Instructor assembles a panel of judges...possibly, parents, teachers, advisory committee, etc. to pick the top submissions. The panel might also find some type of prizes to award.
    • Announcement of winners should be tied to National Entrepreneurship Week activities with the goal of getting local press coverage.
    • Send the winning media release(s) to the Consortium to be posted with your Local Entrepreneur Nomination on http://www.entre-week.org.

     WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE between PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING and Project-Based Learning?
