Societal trends and personal characteristics are facilitating movement from corporate to self-employment. The entrepreneurship movement is characterized by several trends that are influencing the way people work: such as younger workers expecting shorter-term commitments to work, expanding career options, opening of worldwide operations, and technological advances that make it possible to work at home. Successful entrepreneurs usually are perceptive, innovative, creative, self-directed, action oriented, confident, collaborative, persevering, and decisive. Entrepreneurship education extends beyond technical and financial considerations. Strategies that educators can use to promote higher-order thinking, in-depth understanding, and high-quality achievement (behaviors and skills associated with entrepreneurship) include the following: (1) situate learning in the context of its real-world application; (2) require in-depth understanding of a concept or issue; (3) provide learning activities that enable students to engage in their preferred styles of learning; (4) make classrooms student centered; (5) integrate content and context; (6) become a coach and mentor rather than a dispenser of knowledge; (7) require collaboration and teamwork; (8) require students to achieve high intellectual standards; and (9) engage students in exploration, inquiry, problem solving, and reflection.
