In Sports Management students will learn about the Sports and Entertainment industry. The course will also teach students the principles of event planning. Students will work together as a class, students develop an event plan(Dig Pink or Earth Day) that lays out the steps involved in bringing their event to fruition. Next, students consider which committees they should form and what the responsibilities are for each committee. They each choose a committee. Within their committees students form very detailed lists of tasks and determine what research they need to conduct. They compile their plans and research into a client report, in which they inform the client of their plans for the event. Students also decide how to break out the budget for the event, which may or may not be included in the report, depending on the client’s wishes. Each committee contributes the relevant section to the class-wide event plan. The client must review and approve it, possibly with some modifications.
Next, students create timelines: a class-wide timeline of major milestones for each committee, and a detailed, committee-specific timeline to ensure that everything is ready for the event on time. They study the venue and make decisions about how to organize the space for the event.
All students will be required to work the event—setting it up, hosting during the event, or cleaning up afterwards. One or more students will be assigned to document the event by taking photographs.
Once the event is over, students work together to develop a short survey, which is sent to their client. Students also write down their own thoughts on what worked or didn’t work, and they collect all of the visual evidence about the event into an online repository. They might also keep artifacts such as menus, invitations, or decorations.
In Lesson 13, the class discusses the client’s feedback. Then each student writes an evaluation of the event in which they reflect on how the event went and on their individual contribution to it. Specifically, students evaluate how it went against plan and budget; what obstacles they encountered and how they dealt with (or didn't deal with) them; what changes/improvements they would make the next time they throw a similar event, and so on. They also consider how their perception of the event did (or did not) match the client’s perception of the event. Students will supplement their evaluation with photographs or artifacts from the event (e.g., programs, invitations) that document their contribution (i.e., if they were on the decorations committee, they can include photographs of the decorations). Students turn in their final report. As an option, the teacher selects a few final evaluations to show the client as well.
