My Project

The social emotional status of our students has slipped drastically year after year since COVID. Our Panorama Survey of Social Emotional Learning reflects this. We do not have materials on campus to help teachers build these skills so I have included some. I have also included personal finance materials because, due to the unattainable cost of living for young adults in remaining in our home community, I need to incorporate money management into their social studies curriculum in a more relevant and meaningful way. When asked what they want to learn at school, the students say they want to learn about money so they can remain in the community after their post high school education and training.
