information released
Congratulations to high school teacher Kate Sorenson on receiving the “Distinguished Educator of Personal Finance Award!” To earn this recognition, Kate completed more than 12 personal finance courses and passed 12 exams.
Kate also created more than 100 weeks of personal finance curriculum for grades TK–12 and built her own website, www.financeinschools.com, where educators can access her resources for free. She attended a personal finance conference in New Orleans last year, and she heads to Denver this weekend for another personal finance conference. All of her work and education has been funded by a grant with Consumer Jungle.
This new curriculum will help bring financial literacy to every grade at Manson.
- Elementary students will participate in Manson Millionaire Time, with three weeks of lessons each year, along with the fifth-grade Finance Fair.
- At the middle school, Kendra Farnsworth and Brittany Serrafini will teach three new grade-level finance courses during quarter four, reaching all middle school students.
- At the high school, Kate Sorenson and Angel Gosvener will teach a 10th-grade course during Strong Time and a separate, full-length personal finance course. Topics include taxes, investing, compound interest, budgeting, banking, crpyto, the psychology of money, careers, credit, gambling, debt, student loans, and insurance.
Congratulations to Kate, and thank you to Consumer Jungle for supporting financial literacy at Manson!
