Chapter 5 - Strands
Section LXVII-501 - Introduction

A. Although Business Education is a curriculum that covers a wide range of topics, there are certain concepts that are common to all content areas. These concepts are defined as strands. Career development, communication, computation, international business, interrelationships of business and academics, technology, and work ethics and professionalism are the seven strands identified in Business Education. All strands should be interwoven throughout the curriculum. The seven strands and their correlating benchmarks are listed below. In addition to content area benchmarks, benchmarks listed in each strand should be incorporated into each career major whenever possible. The nature of the courses in the career major will determine the number and identity of benchmarks which will be selected. Asterisks (*) identify benchmarks that encourage critical thinking. A table of suggestions of activities that incorporate the strands into the curriculum is also provided.
