I currently work at Central High School in Davenport in an At-Risk program. One of the major facets of our curriculum is the development of real world skills that the students need to develop. Those skills include appropriate conversations with authority figures, interacting with peers and developing a positive self worth. Much of the an adult's financial life has an impact on their self worth. Teaching students how to develop a budget, rent a place, buy a house or develop a life long goal for his/her financial life is key to developing that self-worth. I will work with my students to have the develop a plan for their financial future, then help them understand the financial pitfalls that can be problematic for people who can be impulsive or lack self-control. As students better understand their possible financial futures I will teach them skills that they can use today to better be able to reach those financial futures.
