JUDA - Juda Schools was awarded a $500 grant to develop a stock market career investigation integrating math and business education. The project will also investigate career pathways in Business Management and Administration & Finance. The project team members are Scott Anderson, Math, and James Pickett, Business Education.
The grant was made possible by the Blackhawk Tech Prep consortium, which is made up of public school districts in Green and Rock counties. The consortium is funded through the federal Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act. Tech Prep Partnership Projects are one of the activities funded out of the grant. The projects must focus on Career and Technical Education and specifically address a project in the school district.
"This grant will provide Juda Schools with the means to educate our students on possible career paths in business, administration, and finance," Phil Updike, Juda's district administrator, said.
"In exploring these areas, students will gain an expanded understanding of the applications of mathematical concepts in business activities."
"This will give our students real life experience with stocks and the stock market.
"It will make them more prepared for investing and saving for retirement," James Pickett, Juda's business education teacher, said.
