Course Description
Students learn how economies and markets operate and how the United States economy is interconnected with the global economy. Additionally they learn how to navigate the financial decisions they must face and to make informed decisions relating to career exploration, budgeting, banking, credit, insurance, spending, financing postsecondary education, taxes, saving and investing, buying/leasing a vehicle, and living independently. They also learn the importance of investing in themselves in order to gain the knowledge and skills valued in the marketplace. Development of financial literacy skills and an understanding of economic principles will provide the basis for responsible citizenship, more effective participation in the workforce, and career success.
CANVAS
We will be using this for CANVAS for our Learning Management System. So, students will need to check it for announcements, assignments, and other content throughout the school week. If they are absent, this is the first place to check for missed work.
Traditional letter or numerical grades do not provide adequate documentation of student achievement in competency-based education; therefore, the Virginia Standards require that a student competency record be kept to track their progress. Ratings are assigned by the teacher for each competency as it is evaluated. Students must achieve a satisfactory rating on at least 80% of the competencies in a CTE course. Click on the title above to view the list of competencies for this course.
