A need for financial literacy
As a new teacher I learned quickly that it was important to reward students for their efforts and penalize them for their mistakes. At the same time I noticed a lack of financial literacy tools in elementary classrooms. In partnership with my husband a software engineer, we developed a credit-based system for educators to foster financial literacy in their classrooms. - Accountability
Utilizing this system in my own classroom for the last three years, fellow teachers and principals have seen the change in students behaviours and motivation. Students are egar to earn credits as they complete tasks or demonstrate positive behavior. These credits can then be redeemed for in-class rewards or extensions on assignments.
Student Credits has been in development for the last three years, perfecting the functionality and design of the application to make it easy for educators to implement in their classrooms. Currently only available for Android, but will be available for iOS in the near future if the demand for it is high.
