DECA enriches teaching and learning by providing cutting edge resources to integrate into classroom instruction.
DECA curates three big ideas each month for DECA chapters and advisors.
The DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) is the culmination of the DECA year. More than 23,000 high school students, teacher-advisors, business professionals and alumni gather for several days of DECA excitement. Whether or not your chapter attends, support your association’s delegation.
If your members qualified to compete at ICDC, congratulations! As the competition becomes fiercer, help your members be as prepared as possible. Push them to perfect their presentations and test-taking strategies and broaden their knowledge and skills. Encourage them to reflect on their performance at your association conference and continue to practice and improve each day between now and ICDC.
Many chapters select their chapter leaders for the upcoming year before summer begins. Start by assessing your chapter’s performance and considering enhancements to your chapter’s strategy. DECA’s Elevate modules are designed to showcase the core elements of a high-performing DECA chapter and provide the framework and resources to develop a chapter in a business-like context, helping members apply learning.
As a DECA advisor, you have access to materials, events and activities that make everything you do in the classroom more relevant.
The Advisor Resource Center is a centralized location for DECA advisors to access models and samples, as well as professional learning.
The DECA Guide is your year-long resource for DECA’s Comprehensive Learning Program, including competitive events.
The Online Membership System is your chapter management tool for membership, conference registration and more.
DECA Direct Online is the one-stop location for news, tips and resources for members and advisors, making it an exceptional member benefit.
DECA’s Professional Learning Series offers conferences full of training, resources and networking for chapter advisors to enhance teaching, improve performance, integrate DECA into the classroom and fulfill certification requirements for continual professional development.
