What is a DECA Roleplay?
A DECA roleplay is an interactive simulation where students tackle real-world business scenarios, demonstrating their analytical and decision-making skills to judges like you. As a new judge, your task is to evaluate participants based on their ability to meet specific performance indicators—criteria that measure their problem-solving and communication effectiveness within a business context. These indicators align with the scenario's theme, such as marketing or finance, and your scoring will assess how well students analyze the situation, propose solutions, and articulate their ideas. Your insights help guide and shape the next generation of business leaders by providing them with valuable feedback on their performance.
What is a Written event?
A DECA written event involves students meticulously crafting a comprehensive business report or project plan that addresses a prompt or challenge within a particular business domain, such as entrepreneurship, marketing, or finance. As a judge, your role is to assess these written submissions based on how well students articulate their research findings, strategies, and solutions, guided by specific performance indicators relevant to the topic. These indicators serve as benchmarks for evaluating the depth of the students' analysis, the innovation of their strategies, and the feasibility of their proposed solutions. Your feedback on these projects not only determines their competitive ranking but also offers valuable insights that contribute to the students' educational and professional development in the business field.
