School: define your project
Our learning centre is still under construction. Thank you for yor patience!
Here are a first list of questions for you to think about:
-
Which grades do you want to include in your project?
-
What is the objective of programme? More specifically, do you want to learn how to manage money straight away... or learn how to manage money when they are grown up?
-
Money has a lot to do with behaviour: what behaviour changes are you targeting?
-
Parents involvement is essential to make a real impact: how do you plan to involve them? Are parents going to support this project?
-
Teachers’ motivation is key as well! By experience, teachers are not spontaneously enthusiastic about teaching about money management... they will need support and tools.
-
How many hours? How often?
-
Which subjects do you plan to include your programme into? You may include it in many different subjects (geography, English… maths, etc...) - the more the better. Be careful in only including financial education in maths: it has a lot to do with behaviour, not just adding up numbers; besides, some kids (and adults...) find maths difficult. By narrowing personal finance to maths, they will reject money management... as they reject maths. However they need to manage money anyway. Make the maths content as light as possible.
