Self reflection:
This project aims to balance fun and rigor when students financial literacy improves. Ongoing feedback from students will be critical to its adaptability as financial literacy is not just about numbers but empowering confident decision making.
Course incorporates gamification and engagement of interactive tools (Nearpod, stock market simulators, Flip). Module progress logically flows from basic budgeting concept to savings, investing, ensure knowledge level step up – scaffolded skill building concept. It incorporates blended model with self-paced and live discussions to support diverse learning speeds. For assessment, use real world tasks and simulation game to check application, not just knowledge.
Areas to improve
If time allows, multilingual resources can be mobilized to increase accessibility. In terms of depth of financial concepts, basic investing might be too abstract for 11y old – considering simplifying stock simulations or add concrete examples. We can also invite parents/family involvement to add family finance challenges. We can also add ethical money lesson to emphasize the value system out of $$ world – charitable giving, fair trade and collaborate with math teachers to reinforce percentages/interest calculation concept which focuses more on deduction rather than real world application.
