Bring the “Peak of Excellence” into Your Classroom: Teach Soft Skills Sherrell Wheeler, M-PBEA 2018 -19 President

AsIreminisceovermy36yearsinteachingbusinesseduca7on,Iam

amazed at the changes that have occurred in the curriculum. I

remembermymethods classesback in1979and there is very li@le

that I learnedthere that Iams7ll teaching tomystudents. Likeall

business educators, I have had to learn how to stay current, be

flexible,andconstantlychangetobeeffec7veinmycareer. Because

of that, Ibelieve thatbusinesseducatorsare trulyprepared tohelp

ourstudentsbesuccessfulastheywillworkinposi7onsthathavenot

even been invented yet. Business educators are primed to be the

“PeakofExcellence”inpreparingthefutureworkforce.

This year the M-PBEA theme is “Business Educa7on—the Peak of

Excellence.”Whataperfectthemeforus.Wearethedisciplinethat

can excel in providing the skills that employers state our graduates

are lacking. A recent Bloomberg study sponsored by Workday

included responses from 200 senior-level individuals from business

and academia. In the same study, “Building Tomorrow’s Talent:

Collabora7onCanClose Emerging SkillsGap,”wefind that students

ares7ll lackingsoZskills. Justas theskills learnedwhenge\ngmy

degree really areno longer relevant,manyofour studentswill find

they learn the actual skills necessary todo their job, once they get

thejob. Whatcanreallystaywiththemnoma@erwhatjobtheydo

orhowtheirjobchangesaresoZskills.

President’s Greeting (Continued from Page 1)

The Workday study iden7fied the most important soZ skills to be

teamwork, analy7cal reasoning, complete problem-solving, agility,

adaptability, andethical judgement. The surveyalso indicated that the

new graduates are not prepared with soZ skills such as emo7onal

intelligence, nego7a7on and persuasion, and complex reasoning. How

manyoftheseareyouteachinginyourbusinessandtechnologyclasses?

Ibetmanyofyouareteachingthemall. Wearethedisciplinethatcan

give our students these skills through our classroom environments,

throughinternshipopportuni7es,andthroughmembershipincareerand

technicalorganiza7ons. Wearethedisciplinethatisaboutbusinessand

forbusiness. Weare thedisciplinewhocanpreparestudentswithsoZ

skills so they will be successful at their jobs. I challenge you to think

aboutthesoZskillsmen7onedintheWorkdaysurveyandfocusonways

tobringthemintoyourclassroom. Wearethedisciplinethatcanbring

the“PeakofExcellence”toourstudentsas theyprepare for the jobsof

thefuture.
