EVIDENCE OF STUDENT LEARNING TRANSCRIPTS Supporting college and career readiness, DECA’s competitive events transcripts express each member’s performance rated against National Curriculum Standards identified as essential knowledge and skills and 21st Century Skills. DECA transcripts provide evidence of student learning and achievement as demonstrated by their participation in DECA’s Competitive Events Program at the International Career Development Conference. DECA transcripts are an exceptional tool to provide feedback for both advisors and members in helping them assess areas for improvement in course instruction and student learning. The transcripts provide ranking and performance measures for each instructional area on the career cluster exam and feedback for each performance indicator and/or evaluation criterion the judge evaluates. Because of the structure of DECA’s competitive events program, all data is normalized and should be viewed as a snapshot of performance rather than a competition ranking. DECA transcripts are yet another tool in demonstrating DECA’s commitment to integrating DECA into classroom instruction, applying learning, connecting to business and promoting competition. DECA members may wish to use their DECA transcripts as part of their portfolios when applying for scholarships, to college or for jobs. Learn more and order transcripts at www.deca.org. CERTIFICATIONS Over the past few years, more graduation requirements have been placed upon students. One of these common requirements is that students must obtain an industry certification or credential in order to graduate, aligned to the diploma the student seeks. DECA members who take the Hospitality and Tourism Cluster Exam at ICDC and score at least 70% will be eligible for American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) Certified Guest Services Professional Certification. AHLEI’s Certified Guest Services Professional Certification will cost DECA members $20 compared to AHLEI’s pricing of $50 for AHLEI members and $70 for non- members. Learn more at https://www.ahlei.org/Certifications/AHLEI-Professional-Certification. Chapter advisors can order certifications through the marketplace on the online membership system. Financial Literacy Certification through a new partnership with Working in Support of Education (w!se). w!se’s Financial Literacy Certification Program was developed in 2003 and has expanded nationally and has been widely recognized for its success, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s John Sherman Award for Excellence in Financial Education. DECA members who take the Financial Literacy Exam at ICDC and score at least 70% will be eligible for w!se’s Financial Literacy Certification. w!se’s Financial Literacy Certification will cost DECA members $7 compared to w!se’s pricing of $10-$12.

All attendees must be a registered guest each night of the conference in his or her assigned and approved hotel, for a minimum of four nights, beginning with the opening session. Due to the limited number of multiple housing rooms in the hotels, two-bedded rooms will be used first as a quad for students, then as a twin for adults. Two adults may be assigned to a one-bedded room. A rollaway may be available depending upon the property. According to the Delegate Conduct Practices and Procedures, any damage to any property or furnishing in the hotel rooms or building must be paid for by the individual or chapter responsible.

Shuttle service will be provided. HOUSING PROCEDURE Housing is booked through https://www.decaregistration.com/ma-icdc. The Massachusetts DECA State Advisor has the final approval on room types. If we are running out of rooms in our hotel block, you will be asked to combine students possibly with other chapters, in order to make quads. Students MUST be in triples or quads.

To that end, DECA supports a dress code for its career-based functions that exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism while being non-discriminatory between genders. DECA’s board of directors has developed the official dress standards for the International Career Development Conference (ICDC). The official dress code is provided on page 38 of the DECA Guide. Students, advisors and chaperones must follow the dress code. As ICDC quickly approaches, please review the new dress code which will be in effect for the 2019 ICDC. The most notable changes include: All skirts and dresses must be at or below the knee. Unacceptable types of dress shoes include boat shoes, canvas or fabric shoes, flip flops or casual sandals, athletic shoes, industrial work shoes and hiking boots.
When judging adherence to the dress code, DECA asks that advisors, teachers and chaperones use observation as the tool for assessing compliance. DECA does not support or condone the touching of students or their clothing as a means of determining whether or not a student is following the dress code guidelines. Please remember that an official DECA blazer is required to receive recognition or an award on stage. As you prepare your DECA members for attending ICDC in Orlando, please review the dress code with them. COMPETITIVE EVENT/ACADEMY MANAGEMENT ASSISTANTS Massachusetts DECA will be running the Integrated Marketing Event-Service (IMCS) during ICDC. All advisors are required to work a shift during the competitive events programming. Advisors will be assigned a shift and notified prior to ICDC.

PRESIDENTIAL GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE A Governance Committee will be appointed for the High School Division. The purpose of the committee will be to act upon all violations of the Delegate Conduct Practices and Procedures within the division. The conduct guidelines were approved by the Board of Directors for DECA Inc. and apply to adult advisors as well as student delegates. A copy of the Delegate Conduct Practices and Procedures and ICDC Dress Code may be found in this section. The dress code applies to all participants while in the convention center and convention facilities. The Board of Directors of DECA Inc. requires every student delegate to read and complete these forms as partial completion of ICDC attendance requirements. Please make sufficient copies for your delegates to sign and return to you prior to the International Career Development Conference. Chartered association advisors may wish to bring these forms with them to the conference for possible reference. PLEASE DO NOT MAIL TO DECA INC. The chartered association advisor will be notified (in writing) of all violations. Notices may require the committee to assemble and take such action as is outlined in the Conference Conduct Practices and Procedures. CODE OF ETHICS FOR ADULT ADVISORS DECA offers training to those students who have a career objective in the field of marketing, finance, hospitality, management or entrepreneurship. Individual conduct and appearance is a phase of this training. This phase of the education program becomes apparent at DECA’s International Career Development Conference. Since a good example is one method of teaching, and students participating in the conference are impressionable, a Code of Ethics is set for adult advisors. It becomes the responsibility of each and every participant to see that proper conduct is adhered to at all times. Violations of these practices and procedures will be referred to the president of the Board of Directors for DECA Inc. • Advisors shall conduct daily meetings with participants for progress reports, time schedules and other activities. • Advisors shall keep an agenda for each student so that they may be reached at any time during the conference. • Each chartered association shall arrange to have one advisor on call at all times. • Each advisor shall be responsible for seeing that participants adhere to all conduct practices and procedures. • The rules as stated in the Delegate Conduct Practices and Procedures and the Dress Code are called to your attention for review and should govern the behavior of advisors as well as students. NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY DECA Inc. is committed to creating and maintaining a healthy and respectful environment for all of our emerging leaders and entrepreneurs. Our philosophy is to ensure all members, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status, are treated equally and respectfully.
