Original Grant Overview
Goal
The goal of this classroom based enterprise is to enable students with disabilities to explore their potential as entrepreneurs and develop the skills necessary to plan and operate a business with support and assistance. This opportunity will also further develop the knowledge and skills related to careers in the coffee/hospitality industry and increase work-related behaviors through guided vocational practice at our Barron Beanery Coffee Shop.
What will be done with my students
Students will begin the process of opening a coffee business by surveying their potential customers to determine if they should continue with the successful practices of the previous year or develop a new menu, establish prices, ideal locations, and interests of their customers. They will then create a business plan, new logo, and mission statement. Students will continue planning by conducting research, practice comparable shopping, and making calculations to determine the cost of each item. Students will vote in the classroom to make business based decisions. In addition to the pre-planning portion of the entrepreneurship, the students will make the coffee, serve, deliver, collect and count the money, make change, write bank deposit slips, determine profits, and demonstrate numerous other financial-management concepts, procedures and strategies related to business ownership.
Benefits to my students
The benefits of the Barron Beanery are priceless. With this opportunity, The Barron Baristas (my students) will gain confidence, learn the importance of ethics in business, develop effective working relationships to accomplish tasks, learn intrapersonal and critical thinking skills, practice safety and good hygiene, improve social and communication skills, as well as, functional academic skills. They will also have the opportunity to create friendships. All of these skills will increase the likelihood of the students obtaining and maintaining successful employment in the future.
Budget Narrative
All of the items requested through this grant will provide the startup materials for our classroom entrepreneurship. Any profit made through this experience will be used towards our Community Based Instruction (CBI) field trips, to offset the cost of our required uniforms or supplies at the L.I.F.E. program, and to provide a reward for our Quality Employee of the Month. We will also make a donation to an organization of the students’ choice.
