BASIC calculator (should be available during class)
Paper for note-taking during video lectures
Writing utensil
Access to the internet (home or library) to look up information for homework assignments and watch videos (on Vimeo).  Students will SOMETIMES be given links to help for research, but will often have to find information themselves (which is part of their learning process)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Parents should know that the career students choose to work through during the course will teach them a lot about what they think life will be like with their chosen career.  The goal is for the students to see the impact of decisions.  Sometimes, they learn through this course that the path they desire comes with some life impacts they won't enjoy!  I ask that parents be open-minded about their students choices during the course. 

Parents should be open to hearing information on topics that they may or may not have been exposed to in their financial life. I am always available by e-mail to clarify anything that may sound "off" coming from your student--but I HEAVILY encourage families to discuss course topics at home once they are covered in class!
