Recognizing
and celebrating how each student offers new and unique perspectives is
important for any successful classroom.
The same applies to the Student-Run Credit Union program. Community Financial believes in valuing
diverse learners. It is imperative that
we work with teachers, parents, and students to understand each student as an
individual with certain skills, personalities, cultural backgrounds, etc.
Education
Partnership Coordinator, Amy Fava, strives to know each student volunteer and
member personally at Kennedy Elementary in Livonia. Amy works tirelessly with teachers and
parents to address any accommodations students may need to be successful
workers and savers at the school’s Student-Run Credit Union.
Working to Include Everyone
in Financial Education
The
Student-Run Credit Union program recognizes the importance of diversifying
instruction to meet the individual needs of students. Whether it’s presenting in a classroom or
working one-on-one with student volunteers, Community Financial staff is
committed to recognizing each individual’s strengths. Here are some ways in which our staff makes
the Student-Run Credit Union program an opportunity for all students:
·
Modifying classroom presentations to meet student/teacher needs
·
Including different ways to address tactile/kinesthetic, auditory, and
visual learners
·
Providing accommodations in terms of pacing and learning tools when
appropriate
·
Celebrating successes of each student with year-end celebrations
·
Accommodating special allergy and food needs when needed
·
Including all students who
want to volunteer and/or learn to save their money
Financial
education and wellness is important for everyone. In striving to meet students’ and members’
needs, we can offer the scaffolding necessary to gain financial success.
Education Partnership Coordinator, Amy Fava, encourages student marketing representatives to be creative. |

which we can help and celebrate diverse learners with financial needs?
