I teach special education math in a behavior program, at the high school and occasionally middle school level. I believe every student needs to know the basics of financial literacy, but the special education students especially need to be directly taught financial literacy. I plan to not only teach financial literacy to my students, but also encourage the special education reading teacher to include lessons on reading contracts, comparing credit card/ loan applications, reading mortgages and other key elements of living successful adult life. It will be very easy for me to incorporate financial literacy in my consumer math classes and a little more difficult to work financial literacy curriculum into pre-Algebra class, though it is equally important. I will find a way to work it in either as mini-lessons, or an entire unit with calculating interest.
