Teaching Teens About Money
Episode 152
April is Financial Literacy Month. To celebrate, I am interviewing guests all month long who are committed to educating students of all ages on personal finance. In this first episode of the series, I talk to Courtney Poquette, an award-winning high school teacher, about how she creatively educates her students and gets these teens excited about learning more about money management.
Courtney Poquette has been a teacher and advocate for Personal Finance at Winooski High School for the past 15 years. After attending a Vermont State Jump$tart conference, she introduced the first Personal Finance class and has developed a spin-off, Financial Decision Making Class, where students get real money to set up bank accounts and invest. Her advocacy work is now focused at the state and national levels. She is proud to be a NextGen Personal Finance Fellow, Co-Teacher at the Champlain College Center for Financial Literacy’s Summer Institute, and volunteer conference planner with the state Jump$tart Coalition.

- How Courtney’s high school experience shaped how she teaches personal finances to her students
