  8. What is enterprise? • What definitions and descriptions occur to you? • Which ones do you use/have you used? • Why is it important to have enterprise in the curriculum?

  9. Definitions “…schools should establish a clear definition of enterprise that is understood by staff, pupils and other stakeholders. [Two key elements] … an enterprising learning environment in which students are encouraged to take the initiative; and an enterprise process which is akin to project working.” Ofsted (2004) Learning to be enterprising.

  10. Definitions “Enterprise capability is the ability to handle uncertainty and respond positively to change, to create and implement new ideas and ways of doing things, to make reasonable risk/reward assessments and act upon them in one’s personal and working life. It can be described as: innovation, risk-management, a ‘can-do’ attitude and the drive to make ideas happen.” Qualifications and Curriculum Authority
