Financial Literacy + Character Ed = Huge Impact

What if we could find a way to teach the principles of financial literacy in combination with our Positive Behavior Support System?

In search of an awesome online system we can use for the students...

What will students do to earn the currency? Can we simulate our world? Where work earns pay- where going above and beyond gives bonuses (sometimes)?
A week of homework complete earns a paycheck... then maybe creating school level jobs for the extra pay...
Then we will need something for the students to spend the savings on... event tickets- maybe a school store- maybe create a market with student created businesses?

How can we create this with little to no work on the teachers part?

This will take some planning but promises to make an exciting experience for students...

Back! Thank you innEdCo

I'm at the Colorado innovation conference and they asked us to put our blog up. I remembered that I used to have a blog- well I found it! I stopped writing when the dissertation got too difficult. I enjoyed looking over the old blog posts... I
will start using it again- here is a photo of me at the conference!
