FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Dear Fellow Business and Computer Educators:

Arizona Business Education continues to be involved in numerous changes.

First, there was a change in certification that had a major impact on how we employ business educators at the secondary level. Then, your ABEA committee on certification elected to allow reciprocation for teachers who move in from other states under specific guidelines. Hopefully, future journal issues will continue to lead the way in promoting quality programs.

This journal reflects the successes and shares the ideas of many of our fellow educators. Let’s applaud them for their hard work and their contributions. On behalf of Arizona Business Educators, I would like to thank Dr. Robert Gryder, ABEA Journal Editor, and Dr. Martha Rader, Associate Journal Editor, for providing such an excellent nationally recognized publication. It truly represents the excellence of business education.

Dr. Myers offers 6 keys to Achieving Success Through Customer Service.  Writing from Charles University, founded in 1348 in Prague, Dr. Weldon presents an excellent view of an American educator.  Dr. Schreiber expresses his views on learning theories for Business Educators.  Dr. Lynch recommends an Integrated MBA Management course.  Kevin O’Rorke and Irma Arboleda forecast another movement toward teacher certification.  Robert S. Driska earned his Doctorate in Business Education in 1967 from A.S.U.  His scholarly report on Research in Business Education reminds us of past research.

Willie Jones, Jr.

2002-2003 ABEA President
