Professional development

Be a Professional - Financial Literacy [Part 1]

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

This school year, I will be teaching Electronics and Introduction to Engineering with Robotics courses, for the first time in our school's history. We are beginning to start a STEM Academy and I am excited to be the first teacher in this track. We are also incorporating financial literacy into the courses. Students are required to write business plans, "request loan funding" for projects, create spreadsheets of expenses and create a cost analysis for a project.

We have an incredibly diverse group of students from over 30 different countries speaking 20 different languages at home as their parents' primary language.

Many of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch, having families that are earning a salary slightly above or below the poverty line.

My Project

Although I teach in a brick and mortar school, studies have shown that adults do not necessarily learn well in that way. With the access to the Internet, we have been able to attend courses from distinguished professors throughout the country {and even the world} and attend their courses. Many adult learners are able to complete these types of assignments and coursework much easier and in a more time efficient manner.

This project is a multi-part project for many financial literacy topics including: General Finance, Marketing, Google Analytics, E-Business & E-Commerce, and Business Process Systems.

By taking these courses with the industry leaders, I will be able to pass down this information to my students and they will go into college as a fully prepared financial wizard.

The Google Analytics course is extremely interesting to me because we use this type of big data all the time to make decisions in the real world. Students will evaluate the data I will have used in class and make decisions about their companies based on the models.
