Welcome to Mt. Pleasant, home of Central
Michigan University and the “Chips!” On
behalf of the MBEA Executive Board, I would
like to extend a warm welcome to you as you
participate in the 81st Annual MBEA
Convention.
Last year our convention program took on a
new look. This year we have taken that a step
further and have indicated the Business
Education Curriculum Strand that the
presentation is geared toward. That designated
curriculum area is indicated by the colored
diamonds located next to the session
description.
Your Executive Board has worked overtime to
provide you with an outstanding opportunity to
create your 2020 Vision for the next few years.
When you leave this convention, it is our hope
that you will have a clearer answer to our
convention theme—“What is Your 2020
Vision?”
Please take advantage of the breakout sessions,
dynamic speakers and many opportunities for
networking with other Business Education
colleagues from across the state.
Also take the time to visit the many exhibitors
who are here with us bringing you the latest and
greatest in classroom resources to make your
job a little easier. Please thank them for their
continued support of MBEA.
This year we are fortunate to have four silver
sponsors, Ferris State University Business and
Insurance Risk Department, Certiport, Stukent
and Northwood University. Without their
additional support, many conference extras
would not be possible.
Membership in your state and national
association is vital to Business Education and
the students we serve. Without you, our valued
MBEA members, we would not have this
association dedicated to all areas of Business
Education. Thank you for your continued
support—never forget that you are the
“lifeblood” of our Association, who helps to
shape the business leaders of tomorrow. Please,
if you haven’t already done so, see Pat Pearson,
our Michigan NCBEA Membership Director, to
join NBEA today.
Do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions or concerns that you may have
regarding anything related to Business
Education or regarding membership in MBEA
or NBEA. You can reach me at
[email protected] or by telephone at
810-247-0133.

“Naming What We Do and Doing it Better: CTE and Place-Based Education” Suzanne Knight, PhD Associate Professor of English Education Co-Coordinator, Secondary Teacher Certification Programs Hub Leader, Discovering PLACE University of Michigan—Flint
The concept and related practices of place-based eduation are gaining increasing traction in today’s schools. In fact, some might argue that place-based education is the most prom-ising school reform initiative that we have seen in many years. However, some of these same practices have been the hallmark of CTE… they are “just what CTE teachers do.” In this interactive session, we will identify and briefly discuss the key elements of place-based education. In addition, participants will identify where they already engage in these practices, as well as how they might strengthen or enhance some of the elements to en-courage more of their students to be active and engaged members of their communities (Continued from Session F).

“Cybersecurity/Computer Science Training and Curriculum for all through the Michigan Initiative for Cybersecurity Education 12 (MICE K12)”
Dennis Klaas Michigan Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (MICE) Co-Founder Patrick Schultz Michigan Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (MICE) Co-Founder
The Michigan Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (MICE) was developed to progressively address Cybersecurity education in Michigan. MICE has expanded to include both Cybersecurity and Computer Science curriculum by provided interested institutions with curriculum resources and training access to individuals who have various experiences, from a fully developed program to those in the initial stages of development. MICE consists of two main focuses: 1. Teacher Training – The MICE team has designed a train the trainer (teacher) model that
focuses on standard alignments, curriculum options, competitions, activity resources, and best practices. Whether a beginner to the curriculum, or an experienced veteran, the MICE team has an option for you.
2. Student Training and Curriculum – The MICE team has built a custom learning management system (LMS) that is scalable from an individual to hundreds of students. The main focus of the LMS is to decrease the development workload on educators while increasing the curriculum opportunities for students. Curriculum focuses on Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Certification Test preparation, and employability skills.
MICE has identified many interested parties for Cybersecurity education in Michigan, ranging from CTE based-centers to K-12 education programs. MICE is committed to developing programs that will ensure advanced teacher training and education platform offerings that will foster the development of a world-class information technology/cybersecurity workforce.
