The Blueprint Applied

Abstract

The Entrepreneurial Mindset Teaching Blueprint offers a standardized approach for integrating the entrepreneurial mindset into existing curriculum across campus. The blueprint comprises four essential curriculum design aspects: the first three design attributes (entrepreneurial integration, professional skill development, and mindset cultivation) are central to the vision, as they directly relate to the entrepreneurial mindset, and the last design attribute (teaching with intention) directly connects to the teaching and learning, playing more of a supporting role but important nonetheless. As the blueprint is a curriculum planning tool for instructors to make the course design or redesign more efficient and effective, it is one of many tools and resources that can be placed in the entrepreneurial educator’s toolbox. The blueprint offers a wealth of autonomy. The user-friendly and flexible format can be adapted and used across many content areas, from general education to computer science to political science courses. Moreover, the blueprint can be used across age levels; although this book highlights the use of the blueprint in higher education, where instructors have a bit more freedom to modify the curriculum, the blueprint can be just as useful in the K–12 space. The purpose of this chapter is to describe how the Entrepreneurial Mindset Teaching Blueprint can be used and understand how the blueprint is applied using an example of introduction statistics.

Today’s challenges demand purpose-driven leaders. From an emphasis on Sustainable Development Goals to the breakneck speed of technological developments, the international business environment is rapidly changing, and a different market reality is emerging. As a student of today and manager of the future, adapting and adopting flexible patterns of thinking and behaviour to succeed as a global leader of tomorrow is crucial.
