Description
Pre-Recorded Online Course – allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week’s lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).
The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project.
Homework assignments will include compiling a budget, brainstorming ways to make money from things you enjoy, making a list of the things they want versus the things they need, and the process and terminology of opening a bank account. There will also be research assignments into compound interest, investment opportunities, and risk appetite. This will mean lots of interaction between me the teacher and learners after each class to get the homework assignments completed correctly. We will even have a class scavenger hunt with a money theme which should make for some fun class interaction.
After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to create a process to manage their finances successfully.

*Please be aware I try to teach all of my classes, to at least 2 students as I feel it provides a better teaching and learning experience. If the minimum amount of students is not reached 24 hours before the start of the course, students will be moved to the next available section at a similar time.
*Once a learner has been verified per OS policy, this is a camera optional class.
