This We Believe Statement...

This document is a collaborative reflection of the current priorities in business, marketing, and information technology—imperative to education for today’s youth. In Wisconsin, Business and Information Technology and Marketing are two distinct content areas. Therefore, there are two separate sections that address the uniqueness of each content. Finally, the last section showcases the overlap and collaborative aspects of both areas that make them truly interdependent. The intent of this document is for practitioners to evaluate current programs and shape the future of these programs. The document includes the following sections:

• This We Believe about the Future of Business and Information Technology in Wisconsin
• This We Believe about the Future of Marketing Education in Wisconsin
• In Conclusion…This We Believe about the Future of Business, Marketing, and Information Technology in Wisconsin

This document and its corresponding dissemination plan are below:

• Dissemination Plan
• This We Believe About Business, Marketing, and Information Technology--August 2011

Evaluation of a program provides a basis for identifying strengths and challenges for the program and overall curriculum. Program evaluation is not done for accountability purposes; it is intended as a management and planning tool. Use the Quality Program Standards Self-Evaluation to self-assess your programs strengths and challenges.
