Albers, who graduated and began teaching at Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City, Ohio, this past year, says he plans to teach College Credit Plus (CCP) classes, which are similar to dual credit classes, through Sinclair College in Dayton, Ohio, next year.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Albers thinks the dual credit track was key to getting the classroom offer from Tippecanoe.<\/p>\n<h2>Administrators like dual credit track<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAdministrators find this valuable because it allows students to stay in high school and earn college credit instead of needing to leave the school,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Albers\u2019 Ball State degree also prepared him to manage and implement Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). These organizations\u2014known as BPA (Business Professionals of America), DECA, and FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America)\u2014provide teachers with tools to bring classrooms to life and resources to help students boost skills in leadership, citizenship, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<h2>Albers will pursue CTSO partnerships<\/h2>\n<p>Pursuing memberships and partnerships with these national organizations was already on Tippecanoe\u2019s short list.<\/p>\n<p>The master\u2019s in business education taught Albers to be a more effective teacher before he even stepped into the classroom at Tippecanoe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe program made me a more effective teacher because I completed course work in a variety of business classes to build my content knowledge even further,\u201d says Albers, who notes that he took courses in accounting and decision-making, entrepreneurial leadership, human resource management, information systems, professional selling, and risk management and insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>How technology helps teaching<\/h2>\n<p>Ball State&#8217;s graduate-level business education students also consider how technology can support teaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned how to implement different forms of technology to build collaboration and problem solving among my students,\u201d he says. \u201cIn my &#8216;Improvement of Instruction with Technology&#8217; course, I learned how to use Web 2.0 tools and other resources such as blogging, cell phones, digital journals, multimedia creation, podcasting, and social networking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mastering effective pedagogy practices have made Albers\u2019 first year of teaching a positive experience. He credits his master&#8217;s degree for letting him create a specialized path that fit his career needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Program rigorous, courses relevant<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe program was rigorous and the courses were relevant, practical, and flexible,\u201d says Albers. \u201cEvery course was structured and was easy to follow.
