The
Jr.
Achievement Program is
for CSUB School of Business students who assist in
teaching
the principles and topics of the "business enterprise system" in the
Elementary, Jr. High Schools, and High Schools within the
Bakersfield community. Each BPA business
student that participates in this program spends and teaches 10 hours a
quarter in a specifically designated classroom within the districts
under
the direction of the classroom teacher.
BPA students are also responsible for preparation time prior to each
presentation, and for writing a journal describing the experience
following each presentation. The program is for
BPA students who are interested in practicing and enhancing
presentation
skills
and confidences, along with addressing various approaches and methods
of communicating
fundamentals
of business concepts. The Elementary, Jr. High School, and
High
School students are introduced to principles of the
"business enterprise system" and its application to the individual and
the community. The curriculum is age appropriate for each grade
level.
