Developing Your Advisor Philosophy

Chapter Strategy
Chapter

One of your first responsibilities as a DECA advisor is considering how you will integrate DECA into your classroom. Develop a personal philosophy that incorporates the purpose of DECA, your role as a teacher-advisor and the role and responsibilities of student members.

Consider the following questions as you develop your philosophy:

  • How are you preparing members for college and careers — both now and in the future?
  • How will you integrate DECA into the classroom and apply learning?
  • How will you incorporate aspects in your program to prepare members to become academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders?
  • How will your program align with your local school’s philosophy and state and national initiatives?
  • How do you plan to connect to business?
  • What relationship will you foster with postsecondary institutions?
  • How will you brand and promote your program?
