CTE Month by VP Jarell

Hello Florida DECA!

This month's vlog is all about CTE Month.  CTE stands for Career and Technical Education and provides education that directly prepares students for high-wage, high-demand careers all across the nation. CTE Month is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of CTE and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across the country. It covers many different fields, including health care, information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality and management and much more. 

Here are some helpful links to better understand CTE month and what to do: 
https://careertech.org/engaging-policymakers
https://www.acteonline.org/why-cte/cte-awareness/cte-month/

And remember, the activities that you do can be used in the ABP along with submission to DECA Inc.'s Advocacy Campaign so that's a 2 in 1 on top of being recognized at ICDC as well! 
Now have fun, get out there and advocate :)

0 Comments

 
Hello Florida DECA, I am super excited that it is Competition season and I hope you are too!

Today I am talking about ABP submissions. All information about the ABP can be found on http://www.fldeca.org/team-61-annual-business-plan.html. Submissions should be emailed by 2/4 to team61@fldeca.org. When creating the ABP be sure to follow the “How to document participation” and include everything instructed. After that your chapter is given creative freedom to set up their ABP how they like. There are examples of extraordinary ABPs on the link provided from our website.

If you have any questions contact me at laura@fldeca.org. See you all very soon at states!

Role Play and Presentation Tips by VP Daniela

1/5/2019

0 Comments

 
COMPETITION SEASON HAS BEGUN!
I know many of you have your district competition soon, and that means it’s PRACTICE TIME! The most important thing to keep in mind when preparing for competition is exactly that: preparation. There will always be people who show up to competition without ever having practiced a single time! Your job is to be grateful for those people and outdo them! 

Written Event/ Professional Selling & Consulting Events:
- It’s never too late to start working on a presentation! Don’t show up without a game plan! 
- Include visual aids!! This is extremely important, but must be done the right way: make sure you do not repeat points throughout your aids- the point of them is not to repeat the same information ten times but present different information in different ways to keep it interesting!
- I recommend a poster with pictures and a powderpoint or prezi. 
- Use the 5x5 rule! Each line of a powerpoint should have a maximum of 5 words and 5 lines maximum total.
- It’s okay to use index cards! It’s better to cover all your points! 
Role Plays
- speak with confidence
- use the competitive edge to study information
- check out the decadirect article on the 2019 District Instructional Areas to find out what your role play will be about! Then, research that topic in relation to your event to gain that competitive edge(;

All:
- Have open body language: use hands when talking (not crossed), good posture, not touching hair or face, hands out of pockets.
Good luck to everyone! Can’t wait to see you all at CDC💙

Hey Florida DECA!
This month's Chapter Spotlight is on Cooper City DECA!
Thank you all so much for having me for your first chapter social earlier this year! 
Seeing the energy your chapter had really showed me what DECA can do, bring kids of all different types to come together and just have a great time!  Having a social for your entire chapter is a great idea and something I made sure to take back to my chapter, so thank you all for that.  
I had an amazing experience meeting your advisors and chapter members and look forward to coming again!

How to Compete by VP  Daniela

11/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Check out these interviews I conducted on the best ways to research for written events and how to study for testing!
Best way to study for testing: 
1. Practice practice practice!! Take as many multiple choice practice tests as you possibly can and if you get them wrong, check the answer key so it doesn’t happen again!
2. Be on the lookout for repeat questions
How to research for manuals:
1. Primary: interviews, surveys, observational method
2. Secondary: check the business’ website, newspapers, books, and if the business is a public company, search for all of their financial records online
If you have any questions:
