Background:
|
This is the quarterly update on the development and implementation of the new personal finance course offered to students. At its regular meeting in May 2021 the Board approved the proposed revisions to administrative policy 7.37, requiring all high school students to take a one-semester personal finance course to prepare them to be college-and-career-ready. The graduation requirement began at three schools - Riverside University High School, Alexander Hamilton High School, and Green Tree Preparatory Academy - starting with the Class of 2026, with additional schools being added in subsequent semesters/years. The graduation requirement will be in affect for all high schools for the Class of 2028. The following ten schools will offer the personal finance course beginning in Spring 2022: Banner Prep, Bay View, Bradley Tech, MacDowell, Marshall, Milwaukee High School of the Arts, North Division, Project Stay, Vincent Accelerated Academy, and Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning.
This report will provide information on the following:
1. A review of the timeline for scaling the implementation to all high schools.
2. A review of the major topics covered in the course, and when each topic is taught.
3. Personal finance teacher professional development plan, including an update on how culturally responsive practices and equity are being addressed.
4. Course outcomes to date, including student pre and post-test results, student survey results, and immediate next steps.
5. Students and a personal finance teacher will provide commentary on their experiences.
