This course will teach middle school and high school students the important skills involved in making, managing, & investing money.  We will cover budgeting, banking, & financial planning.  Additionally, students will learn how to shop within budget, buy a car, find housing, and get a job.  This class includes interactive online lessons, activities & quizzes.  Students will also participate in real-world style “Life Skills Lessons” using the web based program, Banzai!, in order to apply the skills they learn each week.  This is not an economics class.  The students won’t be doing much math.  Instead, it’s a class that teaches basic skills to prepare them for life in the adult world.  

 Students interact with other students and the teacher via weekly discussion forums & activities.  Students will post weekly homework assignments that the teacher will review with comments and suggestions each week. 

Students have one week to complete the weekly lesson activities.  This class runs “asynchronously” (participants to do not need to be online at a specific time each week); however it is not self-paced. Assignments are due every Sunday night. (NOTE: Summer session is 5 weeks.)
