I am writing to express my
interest and intention to apply to teach a business class for the 2nd
semester of Grade 10 Xelect. The business
class I have in mind touches on the practical side (vs business management
theories) – basic concepts of business
(business plan, setting up, profit, costs, investments, etc), how a real
business is run, possible challenges, etc – culminating in the fruition of
their business plans/ideas, through a bazaar maybe. The class I envision is not a typical lecture
setting, but one where the students can drive the discussion by asking
questions they have about business in general, their family businesses, or
whatever businesses they encounter or are interested in.
I am currently working on a module for this course, which I hope to present to you when completed.
Signed, sealed and delivered, so no backing out!
In the meantime, I need to continue doing research, work on the module, and consult with teacher friends for their words of wisdom. I have never been a teacher in a classroom setting, except helping my classmates with Math in high school, which was xx years ago.
My #1 fan in this new endeavor is my son A. He encouraged me, and continues to do so, saying he knows I'll be a good teacher, judging from how I explain things to him. Hope he's right.
Wish me luck!
