DECA enriches teaching and learning by providing cutting edge resources to integrate into classroom instruction.
DECA curates three big ideas each month for DECA chapters and advisors.
Business professionals in your community can play a crucial role in the success of your chapter. They can provide insight into current industry trends as guest speakers in your classroom, help prepare members for competition by practicing role-play scenarios, provide guidance and support as partners with members for a written event and be resources for work-based learning, employment, internships, mentoring—and much more!
DECA’s exams are rigorous, industry-validated, multiple-choice, 100-item exams based on National Curriculum Standards. DECA currently uses seven exams for our competitive events. Each exam item represents a specific performance indicator from the respective national curriculum standards.
DECA offers five unique Chapter Campaigns that will help you grow your chapter and build lasting partnerships within your school and community. There are also great awards for DECA chapters that attain recognition through DECA’s Chapter Campaigns. These campaigns include: Membership, Promotion, Community Service, Ethical Leadership and Advocacy (takes place in February).
