Financial Literacy in Content Area

As a Special Education Teacher with a emphasis in Math, I find that the specially designed instruction I give to my Junior and Senior High students to meet their math goals lacks the important piece of financial literacy curriculum. Typically students are evaluated for computation skills or applied problem solving skills but the financial piece doesn't extend past basic spending or counting money. I find that students are meeting their math goals in these areas and dismissed from special education for math without having the financial knowledge they require to be successful in the daily skills they will require. I am hoping to add a financial component to the specially designed instruction for those students that need to understand basic banking and bill paying as well as budgeting and financial planning to be successful when they become independent of their parents.

I was a special education teacher for 30 years and I agree with what you are saying. Counting money and computation are necessary skills, yet they need more financial literacy within their curriculum. I utilized many different types and I found one series that covered everything pretty well. I will check into it and get back to you with a title you might try.

For anyone growing link up in link the 80s and 90s, Swatch was everywhere. In this story, Robin Swithinbank looks back on three different models he owned during link three important periods of his young life, and which he still owns.

They came in platinum and gold, but the one that really sunk the hook in for me was SBGW259. While it shares the same "First" case design as link the gold and platinum watches, it's made of a very un-traditional (by Grand Seiko "First" standards) metal. The material in question is link Grand Seiko's Brilliant Hard titanium, which is twice as hard as conventional link stainless steel.

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting an Omega collector meet-up at our SoHo Omega pop-up with guest of honor Nicole Stott, a two-time spacefaring astronaut. She regaled us with tales from the International Space Station and chronicled her link path link to getting there. Becoming an astronaut isn’t easy – Nicole didn’t link make it past astronaut selection on her first try, but having the right stuff means never quitting. She made it on her second.
