The Entrepreneurial Mindset

@ PHCSE

“The Entrepreneurial Mindset is a set of attitudes, behaviors and skills characterized by eight domains as follows: Future Orientation, Creativity & Innovation, Comfort with Risk, Communication & Collaboration, Flexibility & Adaptability, Critical Thinking & Problem Solving, Initiative & Self-Reliance, and Opportunity Recognition. These domains were developed by NFTE based upon extensive research and decades of experience in teaching entrepreneurship at the middle and high school levels in the U.S. and around the world.”

It's Almost Election Time!


Citizens of Soarmania have been busy learning out types of government in September. In October citizens will learn about elected positions, and their roles and responsibilities. All citizens will practice the skills required to make a campaign, slogan, and campaign poster. They also have the opportunity to run for Mayor of their classroom or Governor of their grade level. Students in grades 3-5 also have the opportunity to run for Speaker of the House, Vice President or President.
