to educate, nurture and inspire students to pursue a passion for the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship in our global economy. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -- Robert Frost ** Choose the road less traveled -- come to EFP! ** Apply to EFP Today! Every Year is just another missed opportunity! Students at EFP will have an opportunity to not only change their own academic lives but to become involved in projects with far-reaching scopes. Entrepreneurship @ EFP = Business, Environmental, Civic, Social, Global Projects
Here are the PDF Documents from the presentation. We discussed how students could develop entrepreneurship, leadership, and creativity skills while being in a college-like setting with block scheduling and project-based authentic learning. The EFP Edge is the small community of sophomores, juniors and seniors who want to stand out -- in a crowd of students, on a scholarship application, or in the business world!
Apply to EFP Today! Every Year is just another missed opportunity! Students at EFP will have an opportunity to not only change their own academic lives but to become involved in projects with far-reaching scopes. EFP will be using project learning and the SAGE approach to entrepreneurship. Come experience the EFP difference! Social entrepreneur David Bornstein said it best in How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurship and the Power of New Ideas. "People who solve problems must somehow first arrive at the belief that they can solve problems. The capacity to cause change grows over time as small-scale efforts lead gradually to larger ones. The process needs a beginning -- a story, an example, an early taste of success -- something along the way helps a person form the belief that it is possible to make the world a better place."

Students at EFP not only experience a college-like block schedule, but their entrepreneurship activities allow them to develop their leadership, organization, motivation and creativity skills. The sophomores, juniors and seniors here at EFP are currently engaged in five incredible student-led activities that are impacting the community of Lincoln. Phones for Food Over 700 phones + Donations + Matching Fund = Approx. $3000! EFP students are working with local businesses, organizations, and schools with a goal of collecting $3000 in old cellphones throughout the month of January (~30 days). The phones will be recycled for cash and the subsequent funds raised will be given to the Lincoln Food Bank for their Elementary Backpack Program. We achieved that goal by partner with Union Bank and Lincoln's Big Give matching program. More Details ... I Love My Dog Expo: Lancaster County Event Center, Feb 2nd Attendance Blowout! People = 2679 and Dogs = 935. WOW! Service dogs play a vital role in improving the quality of life for their owners.

Dr. Seuss's The Lorax: Share the Story and Leave the Book! 5 Schools, 10 Classrooms, and 40 Books So Far!To promote entrepreneurship, the environment, and literacy, students from EFP are going into 3rd grade classrooms throughout LPS to read the Lorax and discuss the story. EFP students and teachers have received several grants to fund the program so that they can leave at least one Lorax book in each classroom they visit. Cookies and Entrepreneurship! 2 Schools, Over 600 Cookies, Over $200 Donated So Far!As a continuation and expansion of a successful program last year, students from EFP are working with middle school business teachers and their students to learn about entrepreneurship.

Over 30 Applicants So Far!To promote entrepreneurship and the opportunity presented by the Entrepreneurship Focus Program, students are developing, creating and conducting innovative programs to market EFP to high school students throughout the city. Figuring out how to reach an elusive market, students are continually searching for the next big idea to raise awareness of EFP. Students at EFP are saying: Learning about business and planning my own business makes everything we do more meaningful! Great college prep atmosphere with alternating block schedule (AB classes = MWF & CD classes = TRF)! I've learned more in my one semester at EFP than six semesters in high school!

The E-ship program is located in the Southeast Community College building that houses multiple entrepreneurial resources for Lincoln and the surrounding area. This environment will provide students an opportunity to individually transform their traditional high school experience into real world preparation. Students will have the opportunity to work with local business and financial experts. Students will start from the basics of “What is an entrepreneur?” as they use assessments to identify their own personal strengths. They will complete their year with an entrepreneurial portfolio that includes a collaborative project and/or a ready-to-start business plan. The program day for the students will generally be for five full hours. This schedule will allow students to take at least two classes at their home high school. Announcements and information from home high schools will be posted daily to keep students informed of happenings at their home high schools. Students will maintain affiliation, participate in athletics and other student activities, and graduate at their home high school. Students at the Entrepreneurship Focus Program will experience an interdisciplinary high school curriculum with a distinct emphasis on personal skill development and entrepreneurship. Student transcripts will reflect the same course titles as currently assigned by LPS high schools. Major course objectives within each area of instruction, as approved by the Lincoln Board of Education, will guide teacher instruction and student expectations. Differentiated, A.P, and weighted grades courses are offered. Some classes may be eligible for dual credit through Southeast Community College. To apply for the Entrepreneurship Focus Program, students should contact their counselor or counseling offices and obtain an application packet. Students may contact the Entrepreneurship Focus Program directly at 436-1715 for more information or to obtain an application packet. | ||||||||||||||||
