Teacher Talk
Rachel Litzinger is an educator at Tyrone Area High School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. Their school is the 137th recipient of the Gold Standard Challenge grant. Here is Rachel describing Tyrone Area’s journey to the Gold Standard.
It took us about a year to get it approved from the start of the idea to approval. The graduation requirement will be implemented starting with the class of 2022. We discussed the idea within our department and then presented it to our administration along with another graduation requirement of a workplace readiness course. The administration presented it to the board for approval.
The primary challenge was the timeline to get it approved in order to have the graduation requirement in place as soon as possible. We made sure to schedule meetings with the administration before the course description book and student handbook updates, which provide the details on graduation requirements, were to be presented to the board so that we could get things moving.
NGPF gave me the idea that this is something that should be a requirement and the educational resources to deliver engaging lessons.
Our students and administration were very helpful in making this happen. Our student newspaper wrote a story about the importance of personal finance and our administration advocated for the graduation requirement to the board.
