Goddard Middle School teacher Mary O’Neil was recently interviewed on KUVO (89.3FM) radio station in a segment for Financial Literacy Month. Steve Chavis of KUVO chatted with O’Neil about personal financial literacy and the “Stock Market Experience,” an investment simulation produced by the Colorado Council for Economic Education (CCEE).
Through the CCEE, O’Neil has taken classes to become an expert in teaching personal financial literacy. Taught by top financial professors and teachers, educators like O’Neil learn how to bring lessons in personal financial literacy into their own classrooms. In her classes at Goddard, O’Neil teaches valuable lessons in financial planning and investing, and uses tools like the “Stock Market Experience” to give her students hands-on experience.
