Enterprise education. Teaching key skills. 3
Description
Two schools are using different techniques to encourage enterprise. Cardinal Heenan School in Leeds runs an enterprise day for Year 9 pupils which aims to foster an early engagement with the subject. Staff use an outside expert to run a special one day event. Pupils are encouraged to solve a range of practical, engaging tasks which develop enterprise skills like team-work, problem solving and presentation. Some are small precise tasks, like constructing a tall structure from drinking straws. Others are more complex, like designing a small town on a budget which must provide employment and other opportunities for its inhabitants. St Nicholas School in Cheshire has embedded enterprise across the curriculum, dipping into three different subjects to see how teachers of D&T, English and MFL incorporate key enterprise skills into their lessons.
