My Project
This supplements a previous project to teach financial literacy. The lack of financial literacy is a serious American problem. I will be teaching a new class next year intended to teach financial literacy to high school students so that they can avoid making huge financial mistakes early in their lives. I have designed the class to incorporate behavior, psychology and a fuller understanding of money in addition to standard financial tools. Financial calculators are not that common in high school and have tailored functions that make learning financial concepts easier.
Half of students from low‑income households
