My Project

The students in my school all have special needs in an alternative setting. The students will have the opportunity to learn social skills, manage money and understand basic economic concepts. These students are in high school and getting ready to enter the real world where the skills are very important.

With this cart, the students will graph the sales data and analyze the results to make business decisions.

The students will learn to measure, marketing, and communication skills throughout the building. This will impact the social emotional learning of the students to make them feel important and valuable members of the community.
