Praise for Teaching Business by Ben Andersen

‘This book is a detailed and practical guide to teaching business studies, offering a range of sustainable and effective strategies to engage students and support strong outcomes for learners of all abilities. It clearly prepares teachers to support student success, not only in examinations, but also beyond school, by developing an inquisitive and entrepreneurial
mindset. A particular strength of the book is its guidance on teaching directive terms, highlighted through the amusing yet insightful simile that “exam writing is like a dog show”.’
Nick Ward, President, Economics and Business Educators (EBE) NSW

‘Focused on pedagogy and practice, this book explores how to teach business with clarity and purpose, helping teachers streamline content without sacrificing depth or rigour. It provides practical strategies to prioritise essential concepts, reduce cognitive overload, and explicitly teach students how to navigate key directive terms. Whether you are an early-career teacher or an experienced practitioner refining your approach, Teaching Business offers clear, actionable guidance to simplify planning, sharpen instruction, and strengthen student performance.’
Maria Mertzanakis, Deputy Head of Senior School – Teaching and Learning, Oran Park Anglican College

‘This book cuts through the noise and offers insight into the craft of teaching business. It reads like a conversation with a friendly, experienced mentor who knows the ropes. Whether you are brand new to the profession or, like me, a history teacher stepping into the world of business, this is the practical, reassuring guide you’ve been looking for.’
Dom Foran, Business Teacher, Smith’s Hill High School
