Financial Literacy

” We recognize the need of our students to gain Financial Literacy skills as we prepare them for a successful transition into the real world, as independent, self- supporting young adults”.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of financial concepts and distinguish the difference between needs and wants.

By the end of this course, students will be familiar with budgeting for real-world expenses, understand how to track spending, and develop a realistic monthly budget plan.

I am currently providing individualized instruction to students 2x a month.
