Real World is an event that teaches financial literacy through real life simulation. It gives students the chance to dream about their future while still being mindful of the steps to reach their goal. Not all students have someone who discusses career possibilities with them. On the day of the prep work, the Real-World coordinator goes into the classrooms and frontloads the students with why we are having the event. The coordinator walks the students through a career cluster inventory, finding jobs within their career cluster, calculating their gross monthly salary, calculating taxes based on their salary, the positive and negative impacts of getting a loan, how to cut corners by having a roommate and the difference between needs and wants. At the end of the event, the coordinator guides a time of reflection and asks students to take their budget sheets home to discuss with their parents.
