Business, Marketing, and Management Standards

The State Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a revision of Nebraska’s Business, Marketing, and Management Standards. The Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) held several focus groups with local business leaders to receive input on the revisions. Educators met to identify programs of study and revise the standards based on preparation for careers in the Business, Marketing, and Management career field. Although not required by Nebraska Statute, the revision of these standards provides a framework for ensuring high quality teaching and learning.
