Download or read book Personal Financial Literacy of High School Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Managing money is a life skill that everyone needs to understand to be successful in life. This paper explores the history of high school personal finance education in the United States, followed by delivery methods that impact high school students' comprehension and behaviors. These delivery methods include curriculum, stock market games, simulations, and tools. Prior to learning about financial literacy in high school there are many influencers that have impacted the student that could have instilled positive or negative behaviors and skills. How an individual learns about money begins at a young age by observing their parents, and develops throughout their lifetime with other influencers that may gender, teacher knowledge, subject standards, work experience, and personal attitudes. With influencers impacting students prior to a personal finance curriculum in high school, this paper concludes with the impact on students of taking a financial literacy course in high school."--leaf 4.

Download or read book The Knowledge Gap written by Natalie Wexler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

This paper explores the impact of financial education on high school students’ current and future financial behaviors focusing on the history of financial literacy in the United States, influencers of personal financial knowledge of students, and delivery of curriculum. The emphasis put on the importance of personal financial education in high school has come and gone throughout the past few decades. While many schools and organizations see the importance of a personal finance class in high school, others do not see a spot for it within the demanding course load already in place for students. Children learn habits, financial or otherwise, from observing those they trust. Whether it be an educator or parent, students mimic the behaviors they see which is why influencers need proper knowledge, standards, and curriculum to be effective in their delivery methods. This paper concludes with the impact of financial literacy on a student’s short and long-term financial behavior."--Leaf 4.
