MBA Research staff were in Louisville in November conducting primary research on standards in conjunction with the Kentucky Department of Education. This included one futuring panel and two validation panels. During the Marketing Cluster futuring panel, business executives discussed knowledge and skills needed for future careers. Validation panels for the Business Management and Finance Clusters were composed of business professionals who work at the practitioner level who reviewed standards in those clusters. Research like this is part of a continual multi-step process that ensures relevant learning standards are the basis of all of our work.
