Charged with developing learning, teaching and assessment practices that go beyond delivering discipline-specific subject knowledge, the demands on entrepreneurial educators have increased in recent decades. This guide will help educators develop more entrepreneurial graduates by demonstrating how they can equip learners with key competencies such as team working, creativity, problem solving, and opportunity recognition.

‘Is the tide finally turning for entrepreneurship education? Toward embracing the best of what we know about human learning? If so, Kat, Col and Andy are our Archimedes lever! I, for one, am deeply grateful. Creativity and design should go hand in glove with entrepreneurship but the dots didn’t really get connected… until they showed up and showed out. I read anything they do... and can you tell just how envious I am of this volume?’
