On August 6, at the Beck Center in West Lafayette, the Indiana Council for Economic Education conducted a workshop for 26 teachers on how to implement the Classroom Business Enterprise (CBE) curriculum. Participants attended training sessions led by experienced teachers that are using CBE in their classrooms. Participants also learned about real entrepreneurship from guest speakers Terry Smith, owner of Rubia Flowers in West Lafayette, and Dr. Joan Fulton, Agriculture Economics professor at Purdue University. Participants received free copies of the practical "Economics and Entrepreneurship: How to Operate a Classroom Business" curriculum and many door prizes. For further information about the exciting CBE program, contact the ICEE office.
