Teacher Talk
For MaryBeth, personal finance is – personal. She began her career as a credit union teller and saw that some of her customers lacked basic financial knowledge. To help, she worked to build relationships with her customers and help them be more financially secure. She did this by explaining the difference between debit and credit, helping customers with checkbook reconciliation and loan counseling.
Laurie Gardner’s personal finance classroom is far from conventional. By redesigning the space from the top down, she has created an innovative learning experience in which her students thrive. From independent work to group work, to guest speakers, Laurie has given a new face to financial education at Marine City High School in Michigan.
What would you do if someone handed you a crisp $100 bill? What about $1,000? A group of about a dozen Schenectady County teens pondered that hypothetical — as unlikely as it may be — as part of a financial literacy training hosted at the SEFCU Center in Schenectady one morning last week. The students were largely split between the two poles of personal finance: spend and save.
The University of West Alabama’s Division of Economic Development and Outreach (DEDO) hosted the 2017 Career Exploration Summer Camp (CESC) for students who will be sophomores and juniors during the 2017-2018 school year. The camp was held on June 11-16. Marengo County’s Shamaire Collins, a student at Amelia L. Johnson High School, attended the camp.
Money has a new meaning for middle and high school teens who learned how to spend, budget and invest at Gateway Technical College’s three-day Teen Money Camp, which began earlier this week. The Kenosha County camp, the first of three that GTC will host for teens this summer, began Monday and ended Wednesday.
