Educators who wish to enhance their knowledge, including business professors who teach entrepreneurship courses, can benefit from national conferences hosted at schools across the country. By participating in these programs, they have the chance to interact with experts from the industry and learn information that can help them provide a better education for their students.
For example, from May 31 to June 4 Babson College will host the 2010 Price-Babson Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators (SEE), which will invite a total of 38 academic teachers and 29 entrepreneurs from throughout the world. Participants will have the chance to expand their knowledge of core topics and developing trends in this field.
Each year, the SEE aims to help participants to become better, more knowledgeable teachers. Topics that will be covered at this year's event include the assessment and assurance of student learning, understanding entrepreneurial finances, translating market tests into business models and the importance of Entrepreneurial Thought and Action (ETA) theory.
Established in 1984, the SEE has helped train more than 2,400 educators and professionals from more than 550 schools, government organizations and foundations located in 57 different countries.
According to PayScale.com, a research company, small business owners make $34,706 to $74,220 during their first year.
