Establishing High School of Business Programs

Establishing High School of Business Programs

Staff is available to assist you in growing and supporting a community of High School of Business™ teachers in your state. This is a great opportunity to form a peer learning network.

Online & Interactive: the Learning Center

Online & Interactive: the Learning Center

All LAPs and many other resources are available inside the Learning Center. Schools that subscribe receive five teacher accounts that can be shared across the school building or college campus. Student accounts may also be purchased.

As a state leader, you may want to consider purchasing subscriptions in bulk. (States that have Enhanced Memberships receive these automatically.) For information, contact service@mbaresearch.org.

Dedicated, highly-trained staff assist teachers with using the Learning Center. Direct current subscribers who need assistance to helpme@mbaresearch.org.

Certification Exams

Certification Exams

A*S*K Certification exams provide proof-of-learning for students. Each exam is comprised of test items that measure knowledge of business-validated learning standards.

Preparing to test: pre-tests and practice tests

We can help by supporting your efforts to have A*S*K Certifications added to your state’s list of approved certifications.

Get Started with MBA Research Resources and Services

Support

Supporting High School and Post-Secondary Business Administration and Marketing Educators

MBA Research & Curriculum Center is a not-for-profit consortium. State departments of education pool their resources to efficiently develop business-based national standards and resources for business and marketing educators. This approach means that everything we develop is done for you based on direction received from you. The result is products, services, and support all available at a much lower price than could otherwise be offered.

Current Resources

Our Resources Are Always Current, So You Can Be, Too.

Ongoing, extensive research with business leaders nationwide results in learning standards and resources focused on the knowledge and skills students need in career and college.

Want To Give Our Resources a Try?

We’d suggest starting with one of our lesson modules (LAPs). These ready-to-use lesson plans are each based on a single performance indicator. Every LAP includes student narrative, activities, assessments, discussion guides, video links, and more. Select a LAP from our library of hundreds, or choose from over 70 available for free through our work with the Daniels Fund High School Ethics Initiative.
