You don't have to build a CTE unit from scratch. This system already works for a class of thirty, not just one kid.
That's the part most people miss about entrepreneurship curriculum: everyone assumes it only works one-on-one, parent and kid at the kitchen table. It doesn't. The same stage-by-stage structure, idea, brand, price, pitch, sell, holds up just as well in a classroom or an after-school group, because the steps don't change. Every student still has to land on an idea, name a price, and practice saying it out loud. What changes is just the number of kids doing it at the same time.
Kit #7: Make Your First Sale is where that shows up the most. It's built around a real sales script and objection-handling practice, the kind of thing a student can run through with a partner, a small group, or a whole class taking turns at a table. Nobody has to invent a role-play exercise from scratch. It's already sequenced, already aligned to CTE standards, and already asks for the one thing a unit plan usually skips: a real transaction a student can point to and say, I did that.
If you're trying to put together something hands-on before the semester runs out, you don't need a new lesson plan. You need the same system, just with more chairs around the table.
If you're teaching this soon, what grade are you building it for?
