Entrepreneurial Classrooms: Turning Projects Into Possibilities

In this episode of How We Teach This, we sit down with Elizabeth “Liz” Anstine — the 2025 Kansas Teacher of the Year and a dynamic business educator at Leavenworth High School — to explore how student entrepreneurship can transform classroom learning. Liz shares powerful stories from her business and marketing courses, where students design and run hands-on projects like candy sales, sustainable meal planning, and even freeze-drying ventures. Through authentic, real-world experiences, she illustrates how applied learning ignites student leadership, creativity, and practical skills.
