-OVERVIEW- To maintain a financially healthy business it is essential for entrepreneurs to meet their sales goals. In this class, students will be introduced to a popular sales technique called "upselling" while helping a fictional dog walking company, Paws & Tails, get out of financial trouble. The owner of Paws & Tails has just received terrible news from her accountant. The company did not make any money last month! How can Paws & Tails increase their sales? Using the knowledge they gain in class, students will work together to solve this mystery and save Paws & Tails from financial ruin. This class combines business, problem solving, and teamwork to create a fun and unique learning experience. -CLASS STRUCTURE- The class is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the class to the dilemma, the second part focuses on the core concepts surrounding upselling, and the third part is where the students use what they have learned to help Paw & Tails get out of financial trouble. MY TEACHING STYLE -I like to tease the imagination of students by presenting information in unique and unconventional ways. Specifically, I incorporate elements of play, discovery, and adventure into my classes. -My classes are structured to allow for student interaction. I also encourage students to interact with each other. -My teaching methods are very deliberate and intentional. To capture the attention of my students, I design eye-catching and vibrant digital slide shows. -My goal is to create captivating and unique learning experiences. COMMUNICATION -I communicate with all students at some point during the class. Conversely, students are able to communicate with me simply by showing “happy” fingers or by sending a message through the chat box. -I am extremely attentive to students while teaching. Therefore, I like for their cameras to be on throughout class. This allows me to observe and assess their learning. I provide friendly and timely communication and feedback to both parents and students. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -This class will appeal to learners who are interested in business or entrepreneurship. -No previous business knowledge is required. -Learners should bring a notebook and pen/pencil to class.
