Financial Fun: Real-Life Learning in the Integrated Classroom Economy

February 11, 2016 to November 23, 2024

  • Category: Online, Workshop
  • Region: Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, GTA, Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario
  • Topic: Financial Literacy
  • Grades: Intermediate (grades 7-10), Junior (grades 4-6), Primary (grades 1-3)

It is widely accepted that financial education should be included in schools and that these skills should be implemented from a young age. However, this is a topic that often gets put on the back-burner.  This workshop will provide participants with basic tools, strategies, and an outline for creating a sustainable classroom economy within the elementary context through an integrated classroom economy. The integrated classroom economy is a model of instruction that provides students with exposure to financial literacy and mathematics throughout the school day by weaving financial literacy material into the fabric of the classroom culture. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to formulate their own integrated classroom economy.

Presented by: Kris Knutson.
