Integrating DECA into Marketing Education
The DECA program of activities and competitions compliments, supplements, and strengthens the instructional program of Marketing Education. Combined with classroom instruction and significant projects, DECA activities give greater scope, application and leadership development. DECA provides an avenue for the enrichment of the marketing program through competitive events and activities planned by students under the guidance and direction of the teacher/coordinator.
Because of the co-curricular nature of DECA the teacher/coordinator is in a position where students will not only be prepared for competitive events, but will also have the competency based knowledge, skills and attitudes required for entry and advancement in marketing/management occupations and/or college.
Marketing Education Teachers Use DECA…
- To complement classroom and/or employment instructions
- To encourage student responsibility
- To develop student leadership
- To instill proper social responsibility and an appreciation for the free enterprise system
