In today’s consumer-driven world, students are constantly encouraged to spend but rarely taught how to make wise financial decisions. This interactive session equips middle school CTE teachers with ready-to-use activities that introduce essential money concepts through real-world scenarios which can be integrated into exploratory or life-skills courses. Participants will walk away with practical tools and strategies to help students build a strong foundation for financial responsibility long before their first paycheck.
