Comments from Education Administrators and Staff
EDUCATION: GET REAL!!! management team members have received a great deal of support from our administrators, other cohorts, members of our business community, and workshop participants. The comments that we have included here originate from their participation and involvement in various courses and workshops we have taught, student organizations that we have sponsored, and participation in yearly student mock interview activities (The Art of Selling Yourself).
This activity is one of the best things that happen at our high school. Students learn so much! All of it is relevant to the real world.
Former Assistant Principal & Current Principal
This activity was the best-organized school activities I have ever seen.
School Principal
What a great experience for the students as well as the interviewers. Losing such a class would be a real loss for the whole community. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.
School Counselor
Your preparation of the students and the organization of the day's activities are amazing. Students were better prepared than most adults that I interview on a daily basis.
School District Consultant
Another outstanding "crop" of students! Kudos to you both on the success and growth of your students and your programs.
Instructional Coach
The enthusiasm and the leadership skills that the MBA Enterprises students possess when they graduate from our high school are commendable. Thanks for your dedication to our students - its highly admirable.

The interdisciplinary approach between the business and English departments was met with some resistance but turned out to be extremely successful. It soon became very evident that the business community and parents were very strong supporters of these programs (Business English and MBA Enterprises).

The teachers did an awesome job of preparing their students for the real world of work. They saw the importance of making it as authentic as possible.

As a fellow staff member, I aided the process by testing the students' basic math skills that would be needed in various entry-level jobs. The students soon realized that this was a serious need and they were then aware of areas in which they could improve.
