Most classes stick to the usual Canvas accompanied by the occasional packet or YouTube video for students’ work. Personal Finance class does not; it utilizes an online learning program called Ramsey Classroom, sponsored by Harrington Insurance Agency.
Ramsey Classroom has a 13 chapter personal finance course that includes a digital textbook, videos, and assignments that teachers incorporate into their everyday lessons. Personal Finance teacher Mr. Mitchell aims to find a balance between teaching face to face and using the videos, only showing videos after speaking with the class; “I usually look at a lesson and find the major points, then go over those in class,” he said. Interestingly, one of his past students actually helped to find funding for the program.
Keelan Faulkner, a current Personal Finance student, finds the curriculum to be helpful, saying, “It feels more interactive than my other classes.”
