Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum (EMC)

1. Thematic Units

Blending various entrepreneurial abilities with foundational abilities and key qualities, 30+ Units on 17+ themes have been designed across grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, with due consideration given to reducing workload for students in grades 10 and 12 preparing for Board examinations. Themes have been designed to meet objectives as defined in the EMC Framework. Themes with broader and complex objectives are spiraled across multiple grades to meet the objectives. Each Thematic Unit has a set of learning outcomes which are achieved by the Activities and Story (where present) along with associated Reflection and Discussion. The following online training videos are available for understanding and conducting of Thematic Units in EMC classes.

The primary objective of “Business Blasters” is to provide an immersive real world opportunity to practice and apply the entrepreneurial abilities learned in the classroom. Using the seed money provided by the government, in small teams, students identify and pursue real world opportunities either for making profit or for creating social impact. Research and experience of various universities around the world have confirmed that immersive real world projects like this accelerate developing entrepreneurial abilities.

4. Student Specials
Several abilities in the Entrepreneurship Mindset such as Effective Communication require extensive practice with constructive feedback. Student Specials have been designed keeping this requirement in mind. These sessions are conducted by students themselves during Saturday EMC periods or during free periods. Students in different grades choose one of the activities such as Just A Minute (JAM), Jaldi Debate, Candidate Interview, and Group Discussion. Students get assigned to roles in the ‘executing team’ or be ‘participants’ and ‘observers’. Overall, students are encouraged to maintain a warm, non-judgemental environment for practicing various communication scenarios. Observers give constructive feedback to speakers on the effectiveness of their communication, including eye contact, body language, voice modulation as well as activity-specific communication objectives. Emphasis is also put on time-bound communication, and a timer keeps track of whether speakers adhere to their allotted time limits. Since these sessions are organized by students, they also get to practice organization skills. The following online training videos are available for understanding and conducting Student Specials:

This way, they get a direct exposure to a variety of career options in employment and in business, and they also learn to interact with working people. Online training video is available for facilitating Career Exploration.

6. Mindfulness

Every EMC class begins with a five minute “Mindfulness” to help students get centered and be attentive in class. Attention is a prerequisite for any kind of learning. Mindfulness also helps students increase their focus and concentration on the task at hand. An online training video explains the role of Mindfulness and how it is delivered within EMC.
