SBE Webinar Archived  A webinar was conducted in October aimed at educating DECA advisors about school-based enterprises and the certification program standards SBEs must achieve to obtain gold-level certification from DECA. If you missed the original webinar you can view the archived version at http://www.deca.org/page/avlc. |
School-based Enterprises and Social Media
DECA School-based Enterprises now has a Twitter page! Be sure that you and your students click here to follow us.
The SBE Twitter page will be a place for advisors and students to check for updates, reminders, and important information as it relates to DECA School-based Enterprises. Remember, you can also "like" our Facebook page, which is a great place to interact with us here at DECA. Check out our new feature, the "Facebook Spotlight," which routinely highlights gold certified SBEs. Get ideas, see what other school stores are doing, and email Lucy with pictures and a description if you would like your gold certified SBE to be featured in a future post! We're working on a YouTube channel, too. We will be adding more content later in the year, but please visit us in the meantime. |
Have a Unique SBE?
Does your school have a non-traditional School-based Enterprise--perhaps a restaurant, an online store, etc? Please let us know if you oversee the operation of a unique SBE. We'd love to feature you on Facebook and learn from your enterprise! Email Lucy with any information or questions. |
