The business classes Nicole Wethli teaches at Fairview Middle School begin with the basics: keyboarding, report formatting and Excel.
From there, the curriculum gets trickier: The Pennsylvania Department of Education requires 12 career-exploration activities – and an individualized career plan for every student – by the end of eighth grade. Eight more are required by the end of 11th grade.
Wethli meets those requirements by bringing in guest speakers, including faculty members from the Black School of Business at Penn State Behrend.
“When students first think about going into business, they often think, ‘I’m going to have to sit behind a desk all day,’” Wethli said. “Not all careers in business are like that, of course, so it’s important for students to hear different perspectives, with real-life examples of how businesses operate. That encourages them to explore the many options that are available to them.”

Bucks County Playhouse, like most education centers, went viral due to the coronavirus, and now their online educational programming is going international.
United States participants in the upcoming Playhouse Institute virtual workshop will be joined by colleagues from halfway around the world. The education conference that began as an in-person event at the Playhouse in 2018, has expanded its reach by moving the forum online. This has given an opportunity for seven teachers from Avenues The World School San Paolo Campus to join this year.
