Description: The Pathways to Entrepreneurship (P2E) program is designed to spark and cultivate entrepreneurial thinking among middle and high school teachers, with a pedagogical focus on Special Education and Alternative Education. P2E prepares educators to teach the basics of opportunity recognition and business development, to implement experiential entrepreneurship in their classrooms, and to become champions for entrepreneurship education within their districts. The P2E program is supported by the Mississippi Council on Developmental Disabilities and is offered as a collaborative initiative between the Center for Economic and Entrepreneurship Education (CEEE) at The University of Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi Council on Economic Education.
This online training equips educators to roll out school-based enterprises or to generate similar work-based learning experiences. The goal is to help our students apply an entrepreneurial mindset as they discover occupational interests, practice workforce skills, and transition to independence.
This is a 7 hour (approximately) ONLINE ON-DEMAND teacher training.
For: While the content is broadly applicable to all middle and high school teachers, the P2E training has been developed specifically to address the needs of Special Education and Alternative Education teachers. General academic or CTE educators are encouraged instead to complete the Project-Based Entrepreneurship (PBE) program due to the tailored resources of the P2E training.
