WBEA Name and Logo Change
The Wisconsin Business Education Association has proposed a name and identity change to better reflect the role of Business and Information Technology Educators in Wisconsin. The proposed name change is Wisconsin Educators of Business and Information Technology (WEBIT). The purpose of the change is to provide a better reflection of the role of Business and Information Technology teachers in Wisconsin and the education they provide to students in the state. In May 2014, a survey was sent to the general WBEA membership with a selection of six potential new logo designs. Twenty-nine members responded with an overwhelming response for the logo pictured. The marketing committee, headed by Kurt Wismer, within the executive board will further develop marketing materials and prepare for the proposed identity change should the membership vote in favor of the change at the fall membership meeting. The necessary bylaw changes will also be made by the executive board. Please contact Kurt Wismer at [email protected] with any questions related to the proposed identity change or the marketing committee work.

Wisconsin CTE Standards
We are pleased to share with you our recently revised Wisconsin standards for Career and
Technical Education. A formal announcement from the State Superintendent and complimen-tary set of the standards documents will be sent to district administrators in the near fu-
ture. However we wanted you to be aware the standards are now available for your use on-line. Click on any link below to go to the standards web page.
Wisconsin Standards for Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; Wisconsin Standards for Business and Information Technology;
Wisconsin Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences; Wisconsin Standards for Health Science;
Wisconsin Standards for Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship; and Wisconsin Standards for Technology and Engineering.
The comprehensive standards documents include a vision for student success and guiding principles for teaching and learning. Another feature of the standards documents is a set of
common career technical standards that are part of each subject area standards. These standards represent the common skills, knowledge, and dispositions that are necessary for
students to succeed in careers.
Program leaders will find the guide valuable for making decisions about program structure and integration, curriculum redesign, and staff development, to name a few. Furthermore,
these revised standards and supporting resources will guide schools, districts, and communi-ties in engaging in larger conversations about the important role of CTE in ensuring that stu-
dents are college and career ready.
To that end, multiple professional development opportunities will take place statewide throughout the upcoming school year. These are being designed with the teacher in mind and
will focus on implementation of the standards. Please find the professional development op-portunities for each CTE program at http://cte.dpi.wi.gov/cte_standards.
We believe that Career and Technical Education (CTE) has significant value for all students –
from introducing them to the world of work to providing specific technical skills. CTE helps students to find relevance, application and understanding of the core subjects.
Please feel free to provide feedback on the standards. This site represents the first version of
what’s to come!

News Release August 2014 On Saturday, November 1, 2014, Dr. Calfrey C. Calhoun and Dr. Gordon F. Culver will be inducted into the Business Education National Hall of Fame at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Dr. Calfrey C. Calhoun received degrees from the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, and Ohio State University. Dr. Calhoun’s impact as an educator was most immediate in the Southeastern United States but also felt throughout the United States. Hundreds of students graduated from the Bachelor of Science in Education program at The University of Georgia (UGA) during his 25 years there. He also influenced a broader scope of student in his role as Dean of the School of Technology at East Carolina University, a position he held for five years. He pub-lished at least 26 articles, 3 yearbook chapters, 9 books, 2 technical reports, and 2 monographs. Dr. Gordon F. Culver held degrees from Oklahoma State University and the University of Nebraska. He taught at Stillwater High School and Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) until he retired in 1990.

Disciplinary Literacy Resources The State of Wisconsin introduced the new Common Core State Standards for Literacy in All Subjects in mid-September, with a new resource page available for educators was made available in early October. General information regarding this initiative can be found at the agency website at: http://dpi.wi.gov/standards/disciplinaryliteracy.html . Also called “disciplinary literacy”, this increases concentration on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and performing in all content areas, from kindergarten through twelfth grade as a way to enhance learning of specific content and concepts. This not only strengthens reading, writing and communication skills, but also increases comprehension in subject areas. Originally part of the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts, Wisconsin is a front-runner in expanding these standards for all areas and grade levels.
