JANUARY
This Month with DECA
DECA curates three big ideas each month for DECA chapters and advisors.
Association Conference Preparation
Using a travel opportunity as a learning activity allows you to demonstrate how it aligns with your curriculum. As you prepare to travel with DECA members, think through all aspects of student travel. Develop an understanding of school policies for student travel, obtain appropriate permissions, and of course, organize all aspects of travel. When traveling, your members are representatives of your school, community and DECA.
Competitive Events Preparation
After months of practice exams, sample role-plays, research and rewrites, your members have used their knowledge from your class to prepare to participate in competitive events. Almost ready to face competitors from schools across your chartered association, now is the time to perfect their presentation skills so they exert confidence, expertise and passion when presenting to the judges.
Second Semester Membership Recruitment
If students have joined your classes this semester, encourage them to become DECA members. The power of DECA membership is that it can be unique to each member. The ICDC Competitor Membership deadline is February 15, and some associations have earlier deadlines.
