Being and Seeing: Teaching Financial Literacy through Community Wealth
Leah Panther; Natasha N. Ramsay-Jordan; Lasha Lalana; Laura Eby
Social Education, v87 n5 p296-303 2023
The authors of this article represent an interdisciplinary team that includes a literacy teacher educator, a high school economics teacher, a community-based math educator, and a math teacher educator. Responding to the needs and building from the strengths of the local community, we co-designed with youth a community-based FLE workshop that centered community cultural wealth. This framing helped us highlight for the youth, their families, and other community members that wealth includes non-material forms of capital, particularly for communities that have been historically underserved or under-resourced within financial and economic systems.
