Introducing DECA with Role-plays and
Case Studies in the Classroom
As teaching tools, DECA’s role-plays and case studies provide relevant, meaningful problems for students to solve, provide a standards-based evaluation, increase the rigor of the instruction, result in evidence of student learning and expose students to DECA – all as part of classroom instruction. Role-plays and case studies provide a student-centered engagement activity to help DECA members apply learning through problem-based activities that require creative solutions and practical outcomes. They are a great way to introduce students to DECA and competition.
Access the full set of resources, including sample role-plays, case studies and exams at www.deca.org/ceinclassroom. New resources are uploaded each March.
