**This is part 2 - please complete part 1 before enrolling in this course!**

THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS! 

This course will be perfect for teens who are interested in learning more about personal finance. All of the information learned in this class will be practical and applicable to daily life. Students will be expected to engage in discussions, think critically, and be prepared to learn and have fun. Please review the weekly schedule below each week to review the topic we will be covering. 

Since this is a flex class, students can participate during the days and times that work for them, but will still be required to be an active participant in the process.  This class will work best only when students are active participants in the process.  The student will need to check in and participate at least a couple of times a week.  

Weekly videos will be posted on Monday mornings, and students can watch these lectures on their own time. Videos will be anywhere between 15-25 minutes each.

Students are expected to participate in the discussion at least 2 times throughout each week and come to a consensus with the guidance of the teacher. There will be multiple opportunities for discussion. A discussion question will be posted in the classroom each week. Learners are required to both create their own comment, AND reply to one other learners post. Students will also be provided with a  weekly self-paced Kahoot! quiz. This will help learners to review what they have learned each week. At the end of the course, learners will be given an open note quiz which will allow them to review everything that they have learned. The themes introduced each week will be:

Week 1: Economics
Students will learn about supply and demand and how they can influence prices in the real world.
