Description:
At Junior Achievement of Central Ohio (JA), we imagine a future where each new generation of students is inspired and prepared to achieve personal success in their career and in life. We come to work each day to prepare central Ohio K-12 students for the business of life after graduation by convening and aligning government entities, for-profit partners, and educational systems to integrate and implement JA’s proven, groundbreaking career-preparation, financial literacy and entrepreneurship programs.
Programs and Services:
Junior Achievement of Central Ohio K-3 programming is focused on teaching students about financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship using standards aligned and grade level appropriate lessons. We are supplementing the curriculum with an increased focus on literacy by creating digital books for students that are aligned to the content taught at grade level. Each book is intentionally designed to give students a greater understanding of the content using vocabulary that is appropriate for the grade level. For students in kindergarten, the content focuses on Individual choices, money, the importance of saving, giving, and the value of work. For students in first grade, the content focuses on needs and wants, how families plan for and acquire food and services, and how students' skills can help support their families. For students in second grade, the content focuses on businesses and jobs in their community, production methods, taxes, decision-making, and how money flows in an economy. The goal is to incorporate literacy with relevant experiences so students are able to put what they read into context.
