Severna Park High School Business, Innovation, & Leadership Signature Strategic Plan 2020

Executive Summary

Through the Business, Innovation, and Leadership signature program, students will develop a sense of individual responsibility, learn life and career skills, gain business knowledge, creativity and the critical thinking skills required to achieve the highest levels of personal, academic and career success.

Our future workforce will need to develop advanced technical and functional job skills. The Business, Innovation and Leadership signature theme encompasses the recommendations of The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), a national organization of business, education and government leaders which emphasizes the importance of teaching Life and Career Skills and Learning and Innovation Skills necessary to prepare students for increasingly complex life and work environments. These skills include flexibility, initiative, social and leadership skills, creativity, problem solving, communication and collaboration.

In the spring of 2010, the community proposed the Business, Innovation and Leadership signature theme in part, due to the high concentration of Severna Park residents who are employed in the Management, Business and Finance sector. In addition, local, state and national employment projections indicate that there will be a high demand for occupations that will require an associates, bachelors or master’s degree in Business. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the two industry sectors projected to have the largest employment growth through 2018 are the Professional and the Business Services sectors which combined, are expected to grow at more than twice the annual average for all industries, adding 4.2 million jobs.

SPHS has a strong foundation of programs offering students opportunities to lead and learn business and innovation skills. The signature program will enhance these opportunities and provide a context for learning Business, Innovation and Leadership skills across curriculum.

Community members and K-20 education will come together to share their content area expertise and partner with school personnel to develop Business, Innovation and Leadership curriculum and opportunities for all students with a special emphasis on experiential learning including internships, capstone projects and service learning.

Learning associated with risk taking, ethics, time management communication and project management is fundamental to any discipline, be it business, health care, law, performing arts or education. We are convinced that the Business, Innovation and Leadership Signature Program will not only foster ‘thinking outside the box’ but a sense of purpose and belonging that encourages a life well lived.

Severna Park High School Business, Innovation, & Leadership Signature Strategic Plan 2020

Overlays are points in the curriculum that make connections between academic content and workforce relevance. Classroom teachers, curriculum specialists, and experts in the field become partners to create the overlays. Business, industry, and community partners determine the topics that are currently important in their field which bring relevance to the content. Teachers and curriculum specialists then determine how these ideas will be introduced in the curriculum. Severna Park High School currently has 63 overlays that incorporate the theme of business, innovation, & leadership in core subjects.

Severna Park High School Students Win First Place at the University of Delaware’s Horn Program in Entrepreneurship Diamond Challenge International Business Concept Competition.

Congratulations to Gabriel Werner and Nathan Wagener for winning the Diamond Challenge business concept competition on April 15, 2016. Their invention is an air pump that uses new technology to store the needle. The students conceived their idea through the Project Lead The Way Engineering program. They further developed it through DECA and the Business, Innovation, & Leadership Signature Entrepreneur club.

The Diamond Challenge is a venture concept competition for high school students and young entrepreneurs centered on building businesses or social ventures. The business concept competition focuses on the development and validation of new business models for generating revenue and profit. The students competed against 1000+ high school students from 22 countries and 17 states. As first place winners, the students received a total award of $10,000. This includes the semifinalist award and travel subsidy as well as a $1,000 grant award to the team’s school. The students also received an additional $1,000 tuition award and the opportunity to further develop their business in a startup incubator called Catapult.
