The EBEA's Quality Mark is awarded to departments that have successfully completed our self-evaluation process. The process, originally devised and piloted by Professor Peter Davis, provides departments with a format for reflecting on and discussing together, key questions about their approach to learning and teaching in a business context. Teaching teams are supported throughout by EBEA Consultant Adrian Lyons, who was Ofsted Lead for Business and Economics and has many years experience in supporting school improvement.

If you teach business, economics or enterprise, The EBEA is your professional subject association. Our aim is to support your professional development and help you to be the best you can be.

We do this by:

• providing members with subject specific teaching and curriculum guidance from experienced practitioners;
• supporting trainees, ECTs and mentors to meet the subject specific expectations of professional development frameworks;
• facilitating subject, pedagogical and curriculum debate and representing the views of members to the wider education sector.

Sharing your knowledge and experience by submitting an article for publication in Teaching Business and Economics can be hugely rewarding. It provides an opportunity to reflect on an area of your practice, consider wider evidence and consolidate your thinking. It also provides a record of your development which will not only inspire other business and economics teachers but raise your profile and evidence your professional capabilities when seeking to develop your career. To find out more visit our ‘Guide to Writing for Teaching Business and Economics’ and if you have any further questions get in touch with the Editor at editor@ebea.org.uk.

For many people, being a member of The EBEA means much more than access to other people’s ideas and expertise, invaluable though that is. Membership of a subject association provides you with an opportunity to lead thinking in our field, influence national policy makers and gain credit for your own ideas and expertise.

Contributing to the development of your subject is not only rewarding and good for your career, but it ensures that teachers, not bureaucrats, determine what constitutes a good business and economics education.

The Economics, Business and Enterprise Association (EBEA) is the professional subject association for everyone interested in the teaching and study of Economics, Business and Enterprise.

As a registered charity the association seeks to:

– Provide members with professional support
– Promote the teaching of Economics, Business Studies and Enterprise
– Encourage curriculum development in these subjects
