• In Event: Gallery Walk
  In Poster Session: Welcome+Gallery Walk

Short Description

This study describes a partnership to teach the Startup Generation entrepreneurship curriculum while measuring growth of 21st century workforce skills. We use a framework that has proven useful in numerous studies (Hixson, Ravitz & Whisman, 2014) and provide a factor analysis with evidence supporting more recently developed student measures. Analysis of outcomes and processes suggest the curriculum provides meaningful learning opportunities, the measurement tools are helpful, and interactive dashboards (using Shiny-R) can support more effective coaching.
