Master Teacher of Entrepreneurship

Earn the 915 Entrepreneurship Endorsement!

In addition to improving teaching skills, the Master Teacher of Entrepreneurship (MTEnt) course improves a teacher’s ability and practice of being a good critical thinker. MTEnts will have more ability and confidence to empower their students’ critical thinking capacity to make better choices as they create and pursue economic opportunities. Successful MTEnts will understand why entrepreneurship education is valuable for all students and learn how to present the content in an engaging manner; learn how to mentor students in the process of developing, testing, and launching a business idea; recognize good entrepreneurship informational text; and improve in structuring learning experiences. The MTEnt was developed to be an example that teachers could replicate in their classrooms to meet best practices in engaging students to integrate critical thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset in their lives.
