Ideas to promote Business Education:

Business Professional Dress Day = have students and teachers in the department wear professional business attire. To promote, put a PSA on the school announcements "Did you notice anyone wearing professional dress this morning? It is never to early to plan your future...sign up for a Business Education Course for 2010-2011!"

Screen savers in all computer labs and Media Center = convert all the screen savers on every compter in the school to be a promotion of Business Education and/or FBLA.

Business = $$$ stickers for teachers and students to wear = create a sticker in Publisher to promote Business Education as a "money maker". If students still have their sticker on at the end of the day, the can come by your room for a treat.

Business Lunch Meeting = create a space in the cafeteria for all business students to eat lunch and have a guest speaker...run a video of all the cool projects students complete in the courses.

Lunch Table Tents = create a table tent in Publisher about Business Education opportunities and place on the lunch tables in the cafeteria.

Promotional Cards in Teachers' Boxes = other teachers are your biggest helper if you are doing "teachers as advisers" because they might not know about all of the electives. Create an ad in Publisher, cut it out and attach it to candy to place in teachers' boxes in the mail room. I liked to use Pay Days ("Help the students get to their Pay Day" promote Business Education).

Please add a post on ways you promote Business Education and/or FBLA in your community and school in order to increase participation and awareness of our programs.

Happy Teaching!
