▬▬▬▬▬▬  COURSE SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬▬
Take this engaging and interactive budgeting class with a 14-year veteran history teacher with a professional certification in teaching Social Studies Education. I have a Master's degree in special education. I am a Gold Star teacher in a Blue Star school for teaching W!se personal finance. My classes win awards for being one of the top 100 schools in the country for personal finance every year. 

▬▬▬▬▬▬  What will be taught? ▬▬▬▬▬▬  
This lesson will go over key concepts on how to budget, ways people budget, key terms related to budgeting, and they will leave with the knowledge to start budgeting right away. 

▬▬▬▬▬▬  How will the class be taught?▬▬▬▬▬▬  
-Class is taught live by video with me for 60 minutes. 
-This budgeting lesson will include real-life examples, videos, an interactive application activity, and an optional extension activity after and before the lesson.
-They will be able to interact with me during the entire lesson with the games, lessons, and activities. They will play Kahoot or Socrative game to review important concepts at the end of each lesson! Students love the review game to go over key concepts with budgeting. 
-My teaching style is engaging and interactive. I  will pause every few minutes and engage students with teacher-led questions and student-generated questions. It is much more of a back and forth conversation about budgeting. 
-This will be one of the fastest, interactive, and most useful class you will ever take with an Award-winning personal finance teacher!
