About this event
Future Business Educator is for members interested in teaching business. You develop a lesson plan on the topic FBLA releases each year and then present it, showing your subject knowledge, instructional planning, and presentation skills. Individual event. How it runs: there is no test. You submit the lesson plan (no more than three pages, using FBLA's template) as a PDF, judged before the conference. In the presentation the judges play your students while you teach part of the lesson: 3 minutes to set up, a 7-minute presentation, and 3 minutes of questions. Internet access is not provided. At the National Leadership Conference your pre-judged score is added to your preliminary presentation score to decide who advances to the final round, and the final presentation decides the winners.

Give each part of your entry the room its points earn, starting from the biggest rows, so nothing on the sheet is left out.

Your entry should be your own work. ChapterPrep's judge scores it and asks questions; it never writes it for you.
