NBEA's Standards for Business Education 2020

Now Available - Free to Members

Business education is changing faster than ever. Is your curriculum keeping up? Find out with a copy of the new 2020 Standard for Business Education. The digital edition will be available to NBEA members for no additional cost in NBEA's Business Education online library. Hard-copies will also be available in the NBEA online store.

NBEA developed this fifth edition of the National Standards for Business Education. The standards, first published in 1995 at the request of business educators throughout the country, was then, and is today, at the leading edge of business and career education. Preparing students for the workplace demands a dynamic curriculum—perhaps more dynamic than any other academic discipline. The workplace undergoes constant change. Tomorrow’s challenges cannot be met using yesterday’s skills. Numerous business educators and business professionals volunteered their time and expertise to review and revise these standards for what students should know and be able to do in business. These educators, who represent their colleagues at all instructional levels, believe strongly in the importance of the standards and consider them a major contribution to the improvement of both personal and career directed education. The National Standards for Business Education are based on a comprehensive curriculum model that integrates ten content areas including: accounting business law, career development communication, economics/personal finance, entrepreneurship, information technology, international business, management, and marketing.

7 Ways Educational Technology Improves Classroom Experiences

Educational Technology - In today’s classrooms, educational technology integration is an expected standard rather than a fortunate luxury. Students in the Net Generation (loosely defined as those who have consistently grown up around computer-based technology) view technology as something more than just computers or the internet.

Teachers Lack Tech Skills for Distance Learning

International Business Education - Teachers at international schools lacked key tech skills necessary to teach students remotely during Covid-19, a survey by ISC Research has found. Some 82 international schools from around the world responded to the survey in June which sought to assess how technology was used when campuses closed during the pandemic. Read more

Nominate Someone for an NBEA Award

Awards FAQs

Q: Can someone nominate themselves for an award?

A: Someone can ask another member to nominate them, but self nominations are discouraged.

Q: What do I have to do to nominate someone?

A: Complete form at the link below. If you don't have ALL the background material on a person you want to nominate, don't worry, just complete the required portion of the nomination form and press submit. Note: it would be best to communicate with the nominee first to ensure they are an NBEA member and that they are willing to receive the award. If NBEA received a partial nomination with no supporting documentation, NBEA will then contact the nominee, ensure they are eligible and an active NBEA member. NBEA will then request they provide the additional information via the online form to complete the nomination. The process has never been easier.

Q: Do I have to travel to the convention to receive the award?

A: No, we have to be more flexible due to potential travel restrictions. However we do request you be available to receive the award virtually, with a camera at minimum. If the recipient can attend the award luncheon on Friday at the convention, it would be wonderful to see them in person. Your video and brief acceptance comments will be projected to the luncheon attendees.

Q: What do I get if I win?

A: An attractive award (crystal or plaque), photo posted at convention, and in the Business Education Forum, your name listed on the NBEA website for posterity as a recipient, something awesome to put on your resume, and a great honor from your peers.
