Campamento Shark Tank: ¡un llamado a los preadolescentes emprendedores!

My Teaching Methodology and Practice
I believe the point of teaching is the learning process. My teaching method uses a combination of several elements, with attention to the age group of the class, in order to make the learning process as strong as possible. I include a PowerPoint presentation, a text (that I summarize - usually the 3 main points), personal stories to make either a good point or to make the wrong choice clear, occasionally I used a brief video clip to introduce the topic, use a Socratic question teaching approach, summarize/quiz about the main points of the class content 2-3 times during a class, randomly call on students to answer a question (rather than just have kids raise hands to keep everyone engaged), and include a student presentation project with a written component - that coincides with the topic theory (for the multi-day sessions). I always speak to class lecture items that should go down in notes I ask all students to take during class and typically hand out a note-taking sheet. Specific details of the class sessions are outlined below. 

"Shark Tank"
This class will walk through the learning concepts listed below AND students will apply the concepts into their business plan pitch to the class. As a class, we will help refine, troubleshoot, problem solve. and help recognize additional opportunities with the student business plans. It's been a very effective way to integrate the teaching concepts and build better business intelligence.
 
This is a class for young entrepreneurs and business leaders. Are you the type who doesn't want to wait and get a job at McDonald's? Do you have great ideas for building a business? Are you waiting for just a little help from someone experienced to put a good plan in place?

Classes will combine lectures (video clips and PowerPoint slides) [45%], summaries of an assigned text [20%], Socratic questions [15%], presentation and discussion [20%].
