A checklist for enterprise education

Be sure that you:

  • are clear about the curriculum context
  • are clear about the parameters of time, resources, budgets
  • brief pupils thoroughly
  • allow pupils time to develop and research their ideas
  • encourage pupils to identify and obtain resources
  • encourage pupils to allocate tasks within groups
  • make contact with organisations who can help – local businesses, banks, LEA advisers, EBPs, enterprise organisations, voluntary groups, public services, local authority staff
  • brief visitors thoroughly
  • use the visitors' time efficiently
  • allow pupils to make their own mistakes
  • set clear deadlines
  • take photographs for follow-up work
  • give pupils a clear task to help them wind up their enterprise, such as company accounts, a presentation, a written report
  • allow time for adequate debriefing, including reflection, generalisation and application of learning
  • carry out an evaluation of the enterprise
  • thank all involved
