How to Teach a BCIS Class

BCIS is an acronym for Business Computer Information Systems, a class offered in high schools, as well as technical colleges. Some school districts are now requiring this course before a student is awarded a diploma. Excellent computer skills are a must for this class, particularly if you are the instructor. If you are preparing to teach this course, there are numerous resources available online to help you develop strategies for student success, create lesson plans and administer tests.

      Take a teacher preparation course. Contact your local technical school or university to enroll in a BCIS training course to prepare you for teaching the subject. Advanced technical credit is typically provided, enabling you to teach the course even if it is out of your area of certification. Most school systems require you to have taken the course in order to teach it.
