Leadership WVEIS 1501
High School of Business (HSB) is a purchased curriculum and adheres to a specified instructional course outline
provided by MBA Research and Curriculum Center; therefore, this course can only be taught by educators who
have been trained by the HSB staff.
This area of study provides students an understanding in such areas as communication skills, emotional intelligence,
operations, and professional development. Students acquire an understanding and appreciation of the need for leadership
skills. To encourage immediate implementation of leadership skills, this course utilizes an on-going service-learning
project for course delivery and reinforcement. The course content is sequenced for students to identify, plan, implement,
and evaluate a service-learning project based on the needs of their community/school. Throughout the course, students
are presented problem-solving situations for which they must apply academic and critical-thinking skills. Formal reflection
is an on-going component of the course. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in hands-on
activities to develop an understanding of course concepts. Teachers should provide each student with real world learning
opportunities and instruction related to selection, development, and maintenance of individual business and marketing
education programs. Students are encouraged to become active members of the student organizations, DECA or FBLA,
national student organizations for those enrolled in marketing or business education. DECA and FBLA are integral
components of the program and provide curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement. Teachers should
utilize relevant DECA or FBLA activities to support experiential learning. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century
Learning include the following components: 21 st Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and
Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills,
technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
