In this 4-session camp, students will be taken through a complete beginning finance course. We will start with personal finance and how we earn money and make spending decisions. They will be guided through creating a budget, tracking spending, and will learn how scarcity can effect our spending decisions. We will then learn about the economy and how money moves through our community. Through illustrations, discussions, and fun interactive scenarios the students will explore goods, services, supply, and demand. They will learn what producers and consumers are and how scarcity, and other factors, can effect the cost of goods and services within an industry. We will conclude our camp by learning about careers and what kind of training, education, and skills are required by various jobs. We will also investigate the role that different jobs have in the community. I can't wait to see your child in my classroom!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I'm Stephanie Roestel.
I have my Bachelor's degree in Finance from Eastern Washington University. I started a career in retail banking but chose to leave the profession to stay home with my growing family. Several of my children have special learning needs and I decided to homeschool, during their most challenging years, to meet these needs. Learning how to educate children in the way that they learn best has been a passion of mine for the past 12 years.
On Outschool, I offer classes in Math and Finance, which are the subjects I have my formal education in. But I also offer classes in reading and literature, which are subjects I found a passion for while homeschooling. Teaching my little ones to read and then leading them in discussions about literature when they got older, has been an incredible experience.
In addition to teaching my own children, I spent 6 years as a volunteer unit leader for a scouting organization. During that time, I rotated between the different age groups within our troop. I designed projects for the girls to complete as they worked to earn badges in a variety of subject areas. Some of these projects were academic (creative writing, robotics, kitchen science) and some were designed to teach life skills (camping, fire building, hiking, cooking). It was very rewarding to collaborate with my scouts as we all learned these skills together.
I have been teaching English as a foreign language online for the past 2 years. This experience has allowed me to adjust the way I teach depending on the level and age of my learners. I have taught advanced 5-year-olds and lower-level adults and each has required a unique approach.
I love to teach in an engaging and collaborative way, where we are all contributing to the learning experience. I believe this creates a fun and interactive environment where the students can really be excited and involved.
I have 5 children and our collective interests are vast. We love video games, board games, roller skating, movies, music, live theatre, concerts, reading, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Colorado.
I can't wait to share my love of learning, with your child, in my Outschool classroom. Reviews
