Competitive Events Manual

Once posted on the Web site, attached is the competitor's manual for teachers. It addresses the following questions:

• Why should I bother with competitive events?
• Where can I find resources?
• How can I motivate my students to want to do a written manual?
• How can my students break manuals down into managable "chunks"?
• Which manual is right for your students?
• How do I tap into my students' strengths and weaknesses?
• How can we put this all together?

The manual was last updated for the 2007-2008 academic year, and DECA, Inc. has made changes in competitive events. However, I am confident that you will find the underlying principles as true now as they were then. Enjoy!
