Welcome to our REAL page!
Real Entrepreneurship through Action Learning (REAL) that is!

• REAL is an experiential learning curriculum which middle and high school teachers can use to enhance core competencies, financial literacy, and community interaction, by introducing students to entrepreneurship.

• Recent studies have shown improved scores in reading, language, spelling, social studies and science for students in entrepreneurial classes over those in non-entrepreneurial classes.

• The Vermont Small Business Development Center (VtSBDC) and the Vermont Business Education Corporation (VBEC) are proud to host the REAL program in Vermont, and to offer a statewide network for teacher support & development.

• There are over a dozen Vermont secondary schools currently using the REAL curriculum, with ten more committed to participate in a spring teachers training institute.

• REAL certification includes three graduate credits through Union Institute and University.
