This school year will be exciting because we will be in-person after a year and a half due to the global pandemic. Last year, I was limited on activities with students due to teaching virtually. I can't wait to use the financial literacy books, games, and other resources to help my inner-city students learn about the importance of money management at an early age. Students will have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship by creating a business plan based on their interests and hobbies. They will learn how to create a source of income, a budget, and SMART financial goals. They too will learn discipline tips for spending, investment options, and the difference between being rich vs. being wealthy. Everything they learn in the classroom can be shared with family and friends at home and in their community. The global pandemic brought about a surge in entrepreneurship. Many of my students and their families derive from low to moderately-low-income homes. I want them to be able to thrive versus simply survive in life financially. If they or their families ever experience another pandemic or major financial setback, I want them to have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be proactive rather than reactive.
