Survey comments - 8/12/18 - Course on entreprenurial mindset

Do you think a high school course on innovation, creativity, and design thinking, under the umbrella of an "entrepreneurial mindset," would be valued by your school district? (Suggested by member - Curtis L. DeBerg, Professor,�California State University, Chico -CDeBerg@csuchico.edu .)

Our High School is large and offers many opportunities for students. Anonymous
I think if introduced in Middle School is even better. My school is an independent school, hence it is easier for me to make that decision, unlike the possible bureaucracy that the District may have to go through to implement such a program. Great idea! Anonymous
The true value would be found in the curriculum of the course not just the title. Lots of potential in this. Anonymous
Should be mandated Anonymous
Probably depends upon mind set of District plus it's ability to support it. Concept could be incorporated into a current subject such as STEM. Anonymous
Our school has a very successful business academy. Anonymous
Valued by teachers,yes...Valued by district administrators, no. Anonymous
What makes it an exclusively high school course? Why is it not a joint course with a neighboring (or online) college partner or two? And why must it only award credit from High School? Anonymous
STEAM focused district. Anonymous
This concept though not fully inclusive, should be part of a variety of courses of study. We as educators should be assisting students to risk, and be creative at all times. This should NOT be a singular stand alone course of study. Anonymous
But Not as a course but included in all courses curriculum to trigger students to think outside the box at all times. Anonymous
We are already doing STEM and STEAM. Let's hope some of those fine ideas are already present in our curriculum, even if not appropriately referred to by those terms. We need to stop rewriting and focus on successful implementation. Aren't you sorry you asked? Anonymous
