Financial Literacy IN HS Sp. Ed classroom

David VanGroll
I am trying to teach financial literacy in a high school special education classroom with low functioning students.  The way this is done is through trying to use videos, hands on activities and other ideas that can be brought down to the students level. We also work at slower pace what might take a typical developing students one week might take us three weeks because of the repetition and slower pace we work at.  I have found that again keeping it hands on, an into things.  Students in my classroom find a job using the newspaper, are given a salary, have to write checks, have to pay bills, we make trips to the grocery store and we are always doing things with our resources in the community.  The resources we use are all the resources they will use after graduation and when they are out on thier own.
