FLF offers two Financial Management courses at Anacostia High School, both taught by Melody Rodgers. Ms. Rodgers serves as a more than a teacher to her students as she inspires them to achieve and pursue post-secondary education. Ms. Rodgers spends more than three hours at Anacostia every day and has developed close working relationships with teachers and administrators. Anacostia students meet Monday through Friday for 80 minutes for approximately nine weeks. This provides each student with nearly 60 hours of financial education. Classes are comprised of 20 – 25 students each quarter, which translates into close to 200 Anacostia students receiving in-depth financial education during the course of the year. Anacostia has requested three Financial Management courses to be included in the master schedule for 2007-2008.

Ballou STAY is one of three alternative programs catered toward helping returning D.C. students obtain a high school degree or GED. FLF works with Mr. Miller, director of Ballou STAY, to develop financial education workshops for Ballou STAY students. FLF expects to offer an elective course at Ballou STAY in the fall of 2007.

FLF provides students at Maya Angelou Public Charter School with financial education for the entire school year. Maya Angelou is a unique charter school that works with students who have largely abandoned their home schools, but realized the importance of education. The Financial Management course is taught on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons by Melody Rodgers. Ms. Rodgers works closely with school administrators to meet the unique needs of Maya Angelou students. FLF’s Financial Management course is a mandatory component of a larger life skills course required for all 9 th grade students. As our partnership grows with Maya Angelou, every student in the school will receive a first-class financial education through FLF.

FLF’s partnership with the SEED School began in 2005 when executive director Michelle Carhart approached Principal Josh Edelman about offering a financial literacy elective. The Financial Management elective course is taught three days a week, translating into more than 50 hours of financial education for each student. Since fall 2005, FLF has taught more than 100 SEED students the importance of financial management. Teaching continuity is one of the principle tenets of FLF, which is why Ms. Carhart has taught Financial Management courses at SEED since the beginning and will continue to teach at SEED during the 2007-2008 academic year.

FLF began offering its Financial Management course at School Without Walls in the fall 2005. Ms. Carhart has taught the course for the past two years, educating approximately 50 students. The Financial Management elective course meets on Wednesday mornings for two hours and lasts for the full academic year. School Without Walls students have enjoyed field trips to the Department of the Treasury and lectures by Dan Iannicola, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Education at the Treasury. Because the class lasts for the full year, students receive nearly 70 hours of course instruction. This allows the class to delve more deeply into complex subjects including insurance, homeownership, the stock market and corporate financing.

FLF began working with Woodson in the fall 2006. The class at Woodson is taught by Ms. Rodgers and meets for 80 minutes everyday.

In the spring 2007, FLF began teaching its Financial Management course at Youthbuild Public Charter School as part of a mandatory life skills curriculum. Rachel Hall was hand picked by the Youthbuild administration to teach the financial education component to all their students. Youthbuild is a unique program that brings in students who have given up on traditional education and prepares them for careers and college. Students split their education between the classroom and job sites, where they learn valuable home construction trades. Ms. Hall works with the students more than five hours each week, which translates into 45 hours of financial education for every Youthbuild student. In addition to teaching about credit, banking, taxes, and other core concepts, Ms. Hall helps Youthbuild students develop budgets and savings plans for the stipends they receive. She also works with the students to craft the financial component of the students’ 5-year plans, which all Youthbuild students must complete. FLF expects to expand its partnership with Youthbuild to include financial workshops. Working alongside Youthbuild administrators and teachers, FLF strives to better prepare students to transition into responsible adulthood.
