第三天:复利:技术和情感的工具

今天开始第一天一样,充满了兴奋和期待。老师的课开始复习的材料覆盖之前的一天以及快速更新从我们每个普华永道员工重申他们的讨论的一些学生。老师很惊讶听到学生们基于他们的想法。一位老师说,她接到一个电话从校长说他之前从一天唯一的遗憾是,更多的孩子没有参加夏令营(由于天气)。这个简短的会话之后,我们打破分成六组,每一个人从每个星期一的课程开发。每个老师提出了他或她的课,就好像他们教学实际上是一个类。午饭后,我们开始今天的课。老师了解到Excel可以作为一个工具来帮助理解和驾驭金融概念。复利的概念似乎新一些的教师,所以我把在自己开发一个非常简单的复利表。使用1000美元和百分之十三的利率,我给钱如何呈现指数级增长。 I also made sure to link cells so that we could easily manipulate the dollar amount and interest rate to make the example more relatable to kids. Afterward, the group wanted to know if they invested $5,000 today, how much they would have after 35 years. Using Excel we should the group the power of compounding and they were amazed at the value the tool could bring to help them understand compounding. The day felt fulfilling as many of the teachers showed both excitement and appreciation. They told us that they now understood the importance of financial literacy and had a better grasp on how to deliver it in the classroom. The acknowledgment that we helped them to better understand a concept that could potentially change the lives of their students and maybe their own lives was certainly an enjoyable experience.雷切尔·史密斯,税收实习生(大密尔沃基地区)
第三天:冒险今天,学生和员工装上摇摇晃晃的,黄色校车伯利兹银行实地考察和大学的伯利兹(乌兰巴托)参与一个实际应用的一些概念,我们在教室里教。分行经理,一旦在伯利兹银行,同时也是两个孩子的母亲在我们组,谈到一些银行提供的相关服务包括储蓄、信用卡、消费贷款以及银行带着我们参观。188bet上不了加强储蓄的价值甚至少量的钱,银行的官员告诉学生们,如果他们放弃了每天一个苏打水,他们可以节省每天2美元和高中结束时他们会近3000美元BZ足以支付他们在大学的第一年。天的第二站是一个教学楼在乌兰巴托。招生官员讨论了验收要求和什么样的课程的学生应该学习特定的职业,比如生物课为了成为一名医生。这时,一个代表教育部提出了一些奖学金学生的机会。然后在乌兰巴托的一个教授给他的个人账户的努力实现目标,甚至在美国获得硕士和博士学位。我非常印象深刻的准备行为的孩子,聪明的他们问的问题在整个演示。在下午,我们举办了一场竞赛,以早上复习我们学过的。孩子们肯定喜欢游戏和竞争。 Before the game began, each team created a team name and flag. My favorite was the team: Go Unstoppable Pirates! Arrgh! Between working together in the competition, lunch, and college application activity, I felt the team grow closer and the bonds grow tighter. In addition to the educational goals of the eight students in my small group, I also learned about their families, their favorite hobbies, and their dreams. For example, one energetic girl named Chelsea wants to study law at the University of West Indies in Jamaica and then come back to Belize as a female politician. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know these kids and sharing experiences back and forth. I hope that we have exposed them to some new opportunities and that they will carry forward the ideas and lessons into the future. PWC15387
