Lead Article

Pretend money may produce real academic gains
Students at a Washington, D.C., KIPP charter school earn pretend paychecks for completing homework, behaving well and improving academically and can trade the fake dollars for small items at the school store, like pens and pencil cases, or exchange it for rewards like being allowed to wear casual clothes on Fridays. The rewards motivate the children initially and help them develop better study habits; eventually, however, success becomes its own reward, say the program’s backers, such as principal Sarah Hayes of KEY Academy, which now sports some of D.C.’s top test scores despite its population of low-income, disadvantaged students.

Rice and Wrong, Food Costs Flummox

Article at The Street.com by Suzanne Barlyn

 Excerpt for the article: Food prices are igniting riots in developing countries — and quietly claiming a chunk of my family’s bottom line. Record rice and wheat prices were clearly reflected in my family’s recent $350 grocery bill for mostly grain-based and dairy products. The continuing global agricultural crisis has obviously ensnared my local community and probably many others.

 Episode 6 Entrepreneurship is "Nifty" aka NFTE -Interview with Dan Rabuzzi [26:56m]: Play Now | Download (671)

Kathy and Mark share insights and resources on the topic of using entrepreneurship as a focus for student financial literacy. The centerpiece of this episode is Part 1 of an interview with Dan Rabuzzi , national program director for NFTE (The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship). This compelling interview provides valuable insight into the power of using this model with students as they take the CEO seat and realize the details and reality of finance. In our changing world careers are very different and many students will in fact be small business managers, consultants or CEOs. Therefore this knowledge and exposure needs to expanded beyond our business classes and CTE programs solely. NFTE is a great model of a program that works.Added to this exciting interview, Mark and Kathy also provide an article to kick off the episode and  new media resources which will help your students dialogue with others on the topic of financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Growing their global perspective, building their understanding of personal finance, enabling students to create content- all empowering principles for our classrooms.

 

Join us for this exciting episode as we explore the global realm

of personal finance for financial literacy education.

Lead News Article

“Students learn to create, not find, jobs”

http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/02/14/student.entrepreneur.ap/index.html

Report: Many Indiana students poorly prepared to manage money
Six of ten Indiana high-school students failed a national money-management survey, and about the same number say they learned everything they know about the topic at home, according to a new Indiana Youth Institute report. Schools would do well to instruct students on money management, helping them to distinguish between wants and needs and the proper use of debit cards, said Lena Yarian, president of Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana. The Journal Gazette (Fort Wayne, Ind.) (6/2)
