Social Entrepreneurship Teaching Resources Handbook

Abstract

As advocates for social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship education throughout our careers, we have gathered a plethora of resources for both faculty new to field of social entrepreneurship and seasoned veterans who blazed trail in early twenty first century. The first version of Social Entrepreneurship Teaching Resources Handbook was published in January 2004 and included twenty schools actively teaching social entrepreneurship courses. The expanded version is a culmination of Social Entrepreneurship Teaching Resources Handbook prepared in partnership with Ashoka's Global Academy for Social Entrepreneurship. Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka said we are at a tipping point in social entrepreneurship. The growth of sector now includes over 350 professors who are actively teaching or researching in social \entrepreneurship from more than 35 countries, with over 30 national and international competitions, 800 different articles and 200 cases used in social entrepreneurship courses. Our efforts are to consolidate number of resources available and to catalogue growing cadre of academics around world who are collectively building field of social entrepreneurship. In completing research on social entrepreneurship programs and faculty, we are inspired by commitment to teach students how to embrace social entrepreneurship as a career option to make a difference in As individuals seek to find meaningful careers, social entrepreneurs provide an opportunity for young people to be as Gandhi said the change you wish to see in world.
