The Junior

position was selected
by my principal
because the previous
campus Liaison
moved to a different
school in a different
district. My principal
felt this position
would offer me an

colleagues and district
personnel. In fact, my

Answer all three questions.
1. What did I learn from this

approached me with
the position.
The data I use for the
Junior Achievement
lessons is generated
by the district-based
curriculum and the
specified schedules.
Each grade level has
specified dates in
which they have to
adhere to according
the district
expectation. I have to
provide the district
with the volunteer
information and the
dates the lessons were
completed. The
lessons have to
correlate with the
scheduled dates.

given to me because

previously been the

each volunteer
completes a volunteer
form which is
submitted to the
district office. I
monitor the lessons
for status and
completion dates.
Once the entire grade
level has completed
all their lessons, I
inform the district
office. I scan an
additional document
listing the grade level

completed along with
my confirmation

process continues
with every grade level
until each grade level
has completed all the
lessons. This year 3rd

learned the importance

of ensuring all
deadlines were met
according to district
expectations. I had to
learn the timetable for
each grade level and
the number of
volunteers needed to
complete each lesson.
2. The students benefited
by this project by
learning about the
importance of being
financial literate in the
areas of saving and
making money. Each
lesson provides
students with an
opportunity to learn
about being financial
responsible for their
actions, as well as, the
importance of working
with the community.
Additionally, the
curriculum introduces
the importance of
being an entrepreneur
and the benefits of
being a business
owner.

A Day event which
means all the lessons
would be completed
in a one day cycle.
Volunteers from the
community bank
volunteered to assist
parents with teaching
all the lessons. The
banks volunteers
were excited and
expressed they want
to participate again
next year. The last
scheduled Junior
Achievement date of
May 15th is scheduled
for 5th grade.

3. The school benefited

from this project by
opening up their doors
to community and
parent volunteers.
Each grade level had
representatives from
both the parent and
community teaching
lessons. Many of the
volunteers expressed
how welcomed they
felt in our school
environment and
looked forward to
participating again
next year.
