Financial Literacy

Matthew Hilby
I currently teach business education at the high school level, so financial literacy is actually included in the curriculum for some of the classes. We try to incorporate interactive ways to reach students in each of our lessons including online simulations (using the Virtual Business program), actual financial documents (such as income tax forms and bank documents), and even bringing in guest speakers who work in the banking/financial field. The units in our curriculum include such units as employee wages & benefits, checking/banking, income taxes, credit, insurance, and investing.
