There is a great new tool for CTE developed by Kris Dobson
to help students prepare for college and career. The Utah
Student Planning Guide is a “flip book” that provides an

Dear Business Educators:
Welcome to the 60th annual Business Education Conference! The conference theme
of “Start Something that Matters” is also the title of a book by Blake Mycoskie the
founder and chief shoe giver of TOMS. Mycoskie said, “My goal is to inspire others
to go out and make a positive impact, to start something that matters to them.” The
book has a direct alignment with what we do as educators. Let’s face it—our role is
more than just being a teacher in the classroom. We are constantly making an impact
on students by evaluating their skills and preparing them for post-secondary life.
In the book, Mycoskie discusses profiles of social entrepreneurs who have turned
their passions into “giving back” sustainable businesses and organizations. Some
examples are Tony Hseih, founder of Zappos; Lauren Bush, founder of FEED Pro-
jects; Eric Ryan, co-founder of Method; and many more. We are very lucky to have
Utah’s own Alan Hall, founder of MarketStar, here to speak with us about his sales
and marketing company that gives back in Utah.
I would like to personally thank the Business and Keyboarding Advisory Commit-
tees that helped to make this 60th Business and Keyboarding Education conference
available to everyone. I would also like to thank those teachers who willingly gave
their time and expertise during the past year to update several courses’ standards and
objectives and the corresponding skill tests. The following courses have been updat-
ed: Advanced Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Law, Computer Technol-
ogy I, Desktop Publishing I & II, Digital Business Applications, Word Processing
Basics, and Word Processing,
Wow, things are changing in Business Education! This year at the Utah State Office
of Education has been an excellent experience for me. I appreciate your patience and
feedback as we implement change to better Career and Technical Education. I have
especially enjoyed my Program Approval school visits and getting to know many of
you. I look forward to meeting all of you throughout the years. Thank you so much
for your passion and dedication to business education.
A VERY special thanks goes to Andrea Curtin, my support staff. To be frank, I
wouldn’t have survived this past year without her help. She is the core balance to my
professional career. A thanks to Carl Lyman with Information Technology and the
USOE staff for their dedication and commitment to the success of this joint confer-
ence. Additionally, we appreciate the help and assistance of the FBLA State Officers
and our vendors.
This year’s conference at Murray High School would not have been possible without
the assistance of Chantel Olsen and other Murray High School staff. Thank you for
all your help!
A lot of time has been put into planning this conference for your enjoyment and
professional growth. Take advantage of the opportunity and have a wonderful time! I
encourage you continue to make a positive impact and start something that matters
this coming year!
Sincerely,
Laura deShazo

Tips for Business Advisory Boards: Serving on a board should not be a lot of extra work for teachers or
too demanding on business professionals. Yet it is important for
teachers to be in touch with what is actually happening in the
business world.
Each school does not need to have its own Advisory Board. Our rec-
ommendation is that there be a District Business and Marketing
Advisory board that meets three times per year.
Members of the committee should include community business repre-
sentatives, a business teacher from each school (an assignment
that could rotate between teachers at the school.), FBLA and DE-
CA student representatives, and a district representative.
The meetings should be short and direct, lasting no more than an hour
and a half each time you meet. It would be a good idea to have
one of your business members conduct the meeting to keep it on
schedule and on topic.
Teachers and students should share what is going on in the classroom.
This could be projects, lessons, etc.
Business representatives should be given the opportunity to share
what is happening in their industry.
Teachers and business representatives should collaborate on ideas for
bringing current business trends and practices to the students.
Tips for CTE Pathways: I believe it would be beneficial for junior high/middle schools and
high school teachers to collaborate more. With the increased
need to promote our CTE programs, implementation of courses
in the eighth and ninth grades is critical.
Teachers at the junior high/middle schools should know what Path-
ways are offered in business at their corresponding high school.
Using Pathways as a marketing tool to build your business program
should be your motivation for promoting Pathways in your clas-
ses. Some schools offer special recognition at graduation for be-
ing a Pathway Completer.
There have been a few questions about ninth grade participating in
FBLA. This depends on district policy. The state does allow ninth grad-
ers to participate, and some junior highs have chartered their own chap-
ters. Others have invited ninth graders to participate with the high
school chapter. The benefit of opening this up to ninth grade would be
that most ninth graders are not too busy to participate in the CTSO and
have not completely decided what classes to take in high school. In turn,
exposure to FBLA would increase the chances that students would en-
roll in business courses.

S Dear Information Technology Teachers:
Welcome to the annual Summer IT Conference!
This year we are partnering with the business teachers for our summer confer-
ence. The theme of “Start Something that Matters” is the title of a book by
Blake Mycoskie, the founder and chief shoe giver of TOMS. Mycoskie said,
“My goal is to inspire others to go out and make a positive impact, to start some-
thing that matters to them.” The book has a direct alignment with what we do as
educators. Let’s face it; our role is more than just being a teacher in the class-
room. We are constantly making an impact on students by evaluating their skills
and preparing them for post-secondary life.
In the book, Mycoskie discusses profiles of social entrepreneurs who have
turned their passions into “giving back” sustainable businesses and organiza-
tions. Some examples are Tony Hseih, founder of Zappos; Lauren Bush, founder
of FEED Projects; Eric Ryan, co-founder of Method; and many more. We are
very lucky to have Utah’s own Alan Hall, founder of MarketStar, here to speak
with us about his sales and marketing company that gives back in Utah.
A special thanks to all of those who have volunteered to do presentations at this
year’s summer conference. You should see a variety of breakout sessions to
attend. You are welcome to attend any of the Business Education presentations
along with the IT Education presentations. Hopefully you will come away with
many new ideas to use in your classroom.
The staff at Murray High School has been wonderful to work with making this
conference possible. Laura deShazo, the Business Education specialist, and
Andrea Curtin, our support staff, have been very instrumental in taking care of
many of the details that will make this conference a success. Give them a big
thanks when you see them.
A lot of time has been put into planning this conference for your enjoyment and
professional growth. Take advantage of the opportunity and have a wonderful
time! Continue to work to make a difference in the lives of the students you
teach and help so something that matters this coming year!
Sincerely,
Carl Lyman

to our specific discipline or field of study. We are flooded with
websites that provide the information needed. However, there has
to be a way to organize that information for easy retrieval when it
is needed. Content curation provides a vital opportunity for educa-
tors to organize website information—articles, images, videos,
websites—for easy access. With this organization, educators can
share the very best material with student and colleagues. Joyce Porter has been involved in business education for over 30

Google Tools for Student and Professional Collaboration
As we look at collaboration and communication as crucial 21st
Century Skills, we need to get students beyond the skill-and-drill

session we’ll dive into Google Drive, Google Calendar, Gmail,
Google Sites, Blogger, Google Groups, and we’ll introduce
Google+. We’ll explore how each of these tools can help our stu-
dents with critical thinking skills and provide teachers with addi-
tional avenues for increasing collaboration. Jared Covili—see bio on Thursday at 8:00.
