Entrepreneurship in the Alberta Curriculum: A Monograph.
Millar, Garnet W.
This monograph examines concepts associated with entrepreneurship in education and presents criteria for reviewing curricular documents to determine support for entrepreneurship. The paper is organized in six sections. The first section provides an introduction and rationale for entrepreneurship education. In Section 2, definitions of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs, and various fields of small business are advanced. Section 3 outlines the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, while in Section 4, criteria for reviewing curricular documents to determine support for entrepreneurship are proposed. Section 5 reviews current programs and services for entrepreneurs in Alberta. It also looks at an entrepreneurship education model. In Section 6, a recommended action plan for entrepreneurship education in Alberta is proposed. References and a bibliography are included in the report. Five appendixes cover the following: (1) examples of some enterprises in five fields of small business, (2) selected definitions, (3) self-evaluation for potential entrepreneurs, (4) desirable personal characteristics of entrepreneurs, and (5) case studies of successful entrepreneurs.
