Standards in the International Business Curriculum Framework and Supporting Materials are based on the following: National Standards for Business Education The National Standards for Business Education are a collection of national standards based on the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to succeed in business. The international business standards of the National Standards for Business Education focus on raising awareness of the interrelatedness of one country's political policies and economic practices on another; learning to improve international business relations through appropriate communication strategies; understanding the global business environment--that is, the interconnected-ness of cultural, political, legal, economic, and ethical systems; exploring basic concepts underlying international finance, management, marketing, and trade relations; and identifying forms of business ownership and international business opportunities.

Students will learn the skills and abilities demanded by the workforce of today and the future. Mississippi adopted Mississippi College- and Career- Ready Standards (MCCRS) because they provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn so that teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.

Mississippi CTE Curriculum Framework Page 6 of 76 Preface Secondary career and technical education programs in Mississippi face many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, Ch. 487, §14; Laws, 1991, Ch. 423, §1; Laws, 1992, Ch. 519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act IV, 2007; and Every Student Succeeds Act 2015.).

As international trade and foreign investment continues to grow both nationally and in Mississippi, many careers will require employees to have the skills and knowledge needed to work in an international setting. Enterprises of all sizes engage in international business to some degree. Although international business is often associated with the business management and administration cluster, a course in international business could be beneficial to students in all career clusters. Needs of the Future Workforce International trade, including exports and imports, supports 339,500 Mississippi jobs. Between 2004 and 2014, trade-related jobs in the state grew 5.3 times faster than total employment. Mississippi jobs tied to trade include wholesale and retail trade; manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; finance and insurance; information; and professional, scientific, and technical services. Most internationally oriented jobs in the business cluster involve marketing, sales, finance, operations, and strategic planning (Thomas, 2015). Jobs in more export-intensive industries pay about 16% more than jobs in less export-intensive industries (Riker, April 2015). Occupational title Employment Projected employment Employment change 2012–2022 Mean annual wage Number Percent Computer and Information Systems Managers 1,160 1,300 12.1% $43.64 Industrial Production Managers 1,370 1,500 9.5% $42.93 Human Resources Managers 9.1% $39.47 Human Resources, Training, and Labor Relations Specialists, All Other 2,820 3,180 12.8% $25.47 Logisticians 23.1% $35.30 Marketing Managers 10.8% $42.55 Source: Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Perkins IV Requirements The international-business curriculum meets the Perkins IV requirement of ensuring that CTE programs strengthen the focus on responsiveness to the economy and are up-to-date with the needs of business and industry. This course also develops high-demand skills within the context of foreign trade; international economics; and diverse political, cultural, and legal systems. International business can be included as part of a sequence of courses for most CTE programs because it provides students with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills they need to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions in the global environment. Mississippi CTE Curriculum Framework Page 11 of 76 Curriculum Content Summary of Standards The standards included in the international-business curriculum are the Mississippi College- and Career-Ready Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, 21st-Century Skills, the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for Students, and the National Standards for Business Education. Combining these standards to create this document will result in highly skilled, well-rounded students who are prepared to enter a secondary academic or CTE program of study. They will also be prepared to academically compete nationally, as the College- and Career-Ready Standards are designed to prepare students for success in college and careers. Academic Infusion Competencies and suggested objectives in the international-business curriculum were developed with the College-and Career-Ready Standards in mind. Skills associated with language arts are enhanced through research and presentation projects. The finance portion of this curriculum provides opportunities for focus on mathematics, as it requires calculations and critical thinking. Additionally, analyzing economic data gives students experience interpreting statistics and problem-solving. The College and Career Readiness Crosswalk for International Business in Appendix D shows the alignment of the College- and Career-Ready Standards to each unit. Transition to Postsecondary Education The latest articulation information for secondary to postsecondary can be found at the Mississippi Community College Board website: http://www.mccb.edu/. Best Practices Innovative Instructional Technologies The international-business curriculum includes competencies and objectives that incorporate current technology. Students will conduct research using resources available on the internet and use application software to analyze data, write reports, and present information. To make use of the latest online communication tools, such as wikis, blogs, and podcasts, the teacher is encouraged to use a learning-management system that introduces students to education in an online environment and places the responsibility of learning on the student. Conclusion With 96% of the world’s consumers living outside the United States (Small Business Administration, 2015), engaging in international business is one of the most important factors for a businessperson to consider in order to gain financial strength and stability for his or her company. Much of the U.S. economy is dependent on foreign trade and investment. A course in international business will provide students with an understanding of the global work environment and a better understanding of the impact of international trade on the economy.

Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. c.

Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically A-REI.10 Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). A-REI.11 Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.* A-REI.12 Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes. Functions Define, evaluate, and compare functions 8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. 1 8.F.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change. 8.F.3 Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line. Use functions to model relationships between quantities 8.F.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values. 8.F.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Mississippi CTE Curriculum Framework Page 50 of 76 Understand the concept of a function and use function notation F-IF.1 Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x). F-IF.2 Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context. F-IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context F-IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.* F-IF.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.* F-IF.6 Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.* Analyze functions using different representations Supporting F-IF.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.* a. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.

Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. b. Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. c. Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. F-LE.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).* F-LE.3 Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.* Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model Supporting F-LE.5 Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.* Geometry Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem 8.G.6 Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. 8.G.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions. 8.G.8 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.

G-CO.2 Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch). G-CO.3 Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself. G-CO.4 Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments. G-CO.5 Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another. Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions G-CO.6 Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent. G-CO.7 Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. G-CO.8 Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions. Prove geometric theorems G-CO.9 Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints. G-CO.10 Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180; base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent; the segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length; the medians of a triangle meet at a point. G-CO.11 Prove theorems about parallelograms. Theorems include: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely, rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals. Statistics and Probability Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data 8.SP.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association. 8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line. 8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height. 8.SP.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
