Hello Everyone,
I would like to share a resource with you about economic education. The Florida Council on Economic Education (FCEE) has created a website http://www.fcee.org/classroom-resources/ with free material available to teachers who may be teaching financial literacy principles. The website provides classroom resources that include workbooks and DVDS at grade levels ranging from K-12th grade. There are two areas I would encourage you to check out: The Classroom Resources tab that includes career, workforce and vocational material to assist students with resume writing, tax credits, job placement and much more. (This may be especially helpful if you are working with high school students who may be looking to apply for a summer job.)
The other area is the Financial Literacy tab. If you go to http://www.fcee.org/classroom-resources/financial-literacy/ there is a free DVD and curriculum for grade levels 6-12 about financial literacy. This particular resource is relevant to our students in New Orleans because the DVD is entitled, "Katrina in the Classroom." There are four chapters about financial responsibilities that include budgeting, banking, savings and wise use of credit. It is especially important to share this information with your students as we approach another hurricane season.
Thank you Chas Durant for recommending this site to me!
Happy reading!
Hazel
